Ruston Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I didn't take these myself but they are scanned from slides that I bought in 1987. None of the locomotives can be identified and no locations are given. The dates are from when the slides were processed. Class 46? Cudworth station. Shipton by Beningbrough on the ECML north of York. Class 46? York North yard. Edited March 13, 2023 by Ruston To add location info provided in replies 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the locomotives can be identified and no locations are given. The dates are from when the slides were processed. Class 46? I am quite confident that this is on an up train, past Normanton (West Yorks.) station. I used to know where this is, with the lineside sign, but I have forgotten. Class 46? I'm sure this is York Dringhouses yard. The last photo is York Yard North looking north at a southbound train, (Dringhouses is/was south of York). Edit - I should also add thanks for posting these. I travelled up to York a few times, and have happy memories of time spent at York Yard North, cheers Edited March 12, 2023 by Rivercider Additional info 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did knock the edges off other platforms on the old Midland line, but isn't the taller of the two signals above the first coach for the main line and the lower one for the diverging line at a junction ? If that's so the main line would be straight on at Normanton and the diverging line would go to the right at Altofts Junction. If it was Cudworth the diverging line would go to the left at Cudworth South Junction - I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s similar pictures in ‘Rails Through Barnsley’ (Alan Whitehouse) and ‘Railway Memories No8.’ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a curious future this Peak was going to have, discarded in a hedge. Is it still there, or has its charmed existence finally come to an end.....anyone know?

The Syphon is an internal frame but still has a full compliment of lower vents and shutters rather than being one of the plated over variety examples. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
