Slogging towards Diggle.
Again not the best of slides showing Class 5, 5305 having just past through the cutting at Midge Hill and approaching Greenfield. This train that had passed through the Hope Valley earlier in the day and was heading back towards Sheffield via the Standedge route.
This was a bitterly cold and murky January day and I must have been pushing the Fuji 100 film to its limit to get this. A changing scene as the Gasometer and the power station in the distance has long since gone. The little bridge over the River is still there but a housing estate has been built on the land to the left of it.
After a recky here a few weeks ago I found that this shot is still on and amazingly the chimney stack is still there though surrounded by trees. The public footpath that was at this end of the cutting has been closed so the shot of trains coming through the cutting are I am afraid no more.
