Eastbound coal train approaching Mexborough West Junction
View NW, towards Wath, Barnsley, Penistone and Manchester on the ex-Great Central line from Mexborough, Doncaster and Sheffield. The photograph shows how sixty years ago this area was intensely industrialised, with numerous large and thriving collieries (Manvers Main is in the left background) and there was a complex of railway lines busy with trains of coal and industrial products. This train (hauled by ex-War Department 2-8-0 No. 90119) is coming away from Wath Yard and is about to pass under the four-track main ex-Midland line at Wath Road Junction, where the line to York leaves the line to Leeds. This was an ideal spot for a 'train-watcher' - but damned cold that day.

Bristol - Newcastle express approaching Wath Road Junction
View SE, towards Swinton, Rotherham, Sheffield Midland and the South: ex-Midland Sheffield - Leeds Main line; the Swinton & Knottingley (Midland & NE Joint) main line, which this train will take, turns off at Wath Road Junction. Thompson B1 No. 61337 (built 8/48, withdrawn 9/67 - the Last of the Class (of 409)) will have taken over at Sheffield, probably from an LMS 'Jubilee' that will have left Bristol at 10.15, the express being due in Newcastle at 18.35. (The ex-GC Wath - Mexborough main line runs below here and off to the right is the Dearne Canal).
