Peaks and chocolate...
Photos from a couple of days out - the first to the Pennines, in the
area of Marsden and Huddersfield, 27 December 1986, the second a trip to
York, 11 April 1987. Both were dull and overcast, with a little rain -
hence the monochrome...
  Firstly,
two pictures taken at Marsden - a west-bound train approaches the
tunnel mouth, and an east-bound working near Marsden station |
  Two
more members of the class - again, west-bound and east-bound - at
Huddersfield |
  45
130 arrives at York - watched by enthusiasts gathered to see 6201
"Princess Elizabeth" depart on a special a few minutes later |
  45
140 rumbles into the station from the depot, and a little while
later heads away with a Scarborough train |
  Two
generations of multiple unit - HST and class 110 "Calder Valley"
set |
  45
119 is seen across the platforms; 150 218 leaves for Holyhead |
  45
119 stands while an HST arrives |
  45
119 makes ready to head for Manchester; scruffy 08 583 trundles
through with a pair of "Sharks" |
  45
150 comes to a stand under the overall roof |
  The
IRS "Rowntree Requiem" - perhaps the shortest railtour ever! A
trip to the works, a few yards up the Foss Islands branch |
  After
many years, Rowntrees were dispensing with rail transport and
their internal rail system |
|
 The
two beautifully turned-out locomotives are No. 2 Ruston 432479 of
1959 and No. 4 Thomas Hill "Vanguard" 285V of 1979. No. 2 lives
on, in working order, at Wirksworth, on the Ecclesbourne Valley
Railway.
The
last photos illustrate our train at Rowntree Halt, ready to depart
for the short trip back to York station |
