English: Westbound freight train near West Silkstone Junction.
View eastward, towards Barnsley (also Wath via Worsborough). The train, headed by an ex-War Department 2-8-0 (no. 77138) is a Class H freight bound for Pensitone and the Woodhead Line to Manchester (x-Great Central) and has probably come from Wath Yard up the very heavily graded Worsborough Branch that by-passed Barnsley. The masts and cross-beams had been erected over 10 years earlier when the electrification of the route had begun, but was interrupted by the War and then the building of Woodhead New Tunnel.
