Wath Railway Depot and Yards
I have only visited Wath-on-Dearne once. All this railway activity has been wiped off the map, I have used the old geomap and the pylon route as a guide to the location, now the A633 by-pass. The locos were unique to the Woodhead route between Manchester and South Yorkshire.

Wath Depot
Located beside Wath Concentration Yard, the depot was home to Class 76 locomotives on the Sheffield to Manchester via Penistone line. Here, 76028 stands at the head of a string of the class parked up for the weekend. The shed is visible on the right of the photo.
Three years after taking this photo, the line closed in 1983. The yard was demolished and housing is currently being built on the site. The 76's were scrapped, there being no other route they could work. There is now a large lake adjacent to where the shed once was.

76053 at Wath Depot
Class 76, 76053, stands in the headshunt at Wath Depot. The depot was slightly raised compared to the adjacent through tracks as evidenced by the small embankment. The class 76's worked the Sheffield to Manchester via Penistone route and were 1500v DC electric locomotives. Behind the locomotive is Moor Road, which crossed the line and gave access to Wath Main Colliery.
The line closed in 1983 and the depot was demolished. The colliery has also gone and has become a lake. The section of Moor Road in the photo has also ceased to exist.
