Up empties passing Penistone Station on the electrified Manchester - Sheffield/Wath main line
View NW, towards Woodhead Tunnel and Manchester, just five days before the New Tunnel was formally opened and full electric operation began. However, electrically hauled freight trains had been running Wath Yard - Dunford Bridge since February 1952 with handover to steam at Dunford Bridge; this train was probably one of those, headed by Bo-Bo EM1 Nos. 26043 + 26042.

The Wentworth Arms in Penistone
A handsome building and public house photographed here from beneath the railway bridge. This is a characterful pub which consistently serves a good range of real ales.

Huddersfield Junction, Penistone
Taken from the official farewell tour train, run just prior to closure of the Woodhead route in 1981. The Health & Safety crowd were not a factor in 1981, even on electrified railway lines. Almost all the infrastructure in the photograph is now just a memory.

Penistone - Railway Station
Penistone’s two remaining platforms, where trains running between Huddersfield, Barnsley and Sheffield call, are sharply curved and the sounds of squealing and screeching of the wheels flanges against the inner edges of the rails must be heard for miles! This line was in fact only a branch line but it has survived the main line which branched off to the left at the point where this picture was taken. It is now known as the Penistone Line and was itself under closure threat for some time, a threat which thankfully has now passed.
