New Mills South Junc
Returning to Tunstead Quarry from Northwich with their train of empty ICI PHV hoppers, class 20 locomotives 20153 (D8153) and 20185 (D8185) have just dropped off the single line tablet from Northenden Junc to the signal man, who can be seen stood along side the train.
This section of line was always doubled tracked but in this period of time only one track was used and was freight only, today it is the main line over the Hope Valley and very busy.
