Approaching Penistone station
The former Woodhead railway line as it approaches Penistone from the west, with Eastfield Avenue alongside the railway to the right.
The train was a private charter for members of the Oxford University Railway Society, a few months before the line finally closed.
I had tried before to locate this photo from my archive, believing it was at the other end of the line around Hadfield, but finally placed it here by locating the houses with the help of aerial photography on the Wheres-the-Path website.

Penistone railway station, Yorkshire, 2003
Opened in 1874 jointly by the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (on the Manchester to Sheffield Victoria via Woodhead line) and the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (on what is today the Huddersfield to Sheffield line), at the points where the two lines joined. This station replaced an earlier 1845 station around 400m west of here, on the Woodhead line, which closed to passengers at the same time.
Forecourt view south east. The Huddersfield line platform canopies can be seen in the distance to the left of the image. The Woodhead line, hidden behind the station building to the right, closed to passengers in 1970 and completely in 1981.
