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
Two generations of multiple unit - HST and class 110
"Calder Valley" set
45 140 rumbles into the station from the depot, and a
little while later heads away with a Scarborough train
45 119 is seen across the platforms; 150 218 leaves
for Holyhead
45 119 makes ready to head for Manchester; scruffy
08 583 trundles through with a pair of "Sharks"

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...
45 119 stands while an HST arrives
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
