Front view of an ex-Great Central 0-8-0 at Barnsley Locomotive Depot
A representation of the brute force of a big goods engine - here ex-GC Class Q4 0-8-0 No. 63202. Long since largely supplanted by newer and larger 2-8-0's, the Q4 class was extinct by the end of 1951. Barnsley Depot supplied motive power for some of the very intensive colliery traffic in the area. Coded 36D in the Doncaster District of the Eastern Region, in 1950 it had 41 engines:- 6 2-8-0, 6 0-8-0, 11 0-6-0, 3 4-4-2T, 15 0-6-2T, all being of GC origin.

Barnsley (Exchange) Station
View NW, towards Penistone and Wakefield, of already partly transformed station. This station was served by the former Great Central (later LNER) trains from Doncaster via Mexborough on to Penistone, also from Sheffield Victoria via Chapeltown (until 7/12/53); LMSR (former L&Y) trains ran in from Wakefield. On 29/6/59, the local trains from Doncaster via Barnsley (Court House) to Penistone were withdrawn, but from 19/4/60 the new connection at Quarry Junction with the LMSR (former Midland Railway) lines from Cudworth (closed 9/6/58) and from Sheffield LMS allowed closure of the adjoining Court House Station, so enabling Exchange to be Barnsley's only Station, now served by trains from Sheffield (former LMSR station) to Leeds via Wakefield and the reintroduction of passenger trains to Huddersfield via Penistone. In the days of Coal and Steam there was an immensely complicated network of lines around Barnsley, too much to describe here, but there was a substantial Barnsley Locomotive Shed involved with this traffic on the right of this photograph, closed on 4/1/60.
