45065 Rotherham 16Sep77

Peak no 45065 passes the old Rotherham station (previously Masborough) with a NE-SW route working on 16th September 1977.

 

What a great place to watch the trains in the early 70s. With no shortage of passenger workings and, on the lines to the right, what seemed to be a never ending procession of freight trains following one another into Tinsley Yard, there was not much more to ask for the avid train fan. Topping it all were a couple of shunters working the local sidings and semaphore signalling too ! A shame this station didn't make the cut
