37419 Passes Through Mirfield with Tanks
Taken from the fire escape of Lyles Mill, Inter-City liveried 37419 passes through my home town with 6M19 the empty tanks from Jarrow returning to Shell Stanlow.
In the background is the viaduct of the defunct "Leeds New Line". Constructed by the London & North Western Railway the line was opened on October 1st 1900. On the 31st of July 1965 D395 hauled the final passenger service to use the Leeds New Line - 15.00 Liverpool-Newcastle. Just eleven months later, British Rail lifted the track between Liversedge and Gomersal, demolishing underbridges in the process, thereby preventing any chance of the line being reopened.
