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.
