It's All In The Preparation...
Having completed 2 sides of the Dinting triangle Northern Rail 323232 arrives with the 2G57 1414 Hadfield - Manchester Piccadilly.
Network Rail have put there marker down for the up and coming engineering work on the line this weekend and a few to follow.
Dinting oozes railway history , out of sight to the left is Platform 1 , rarely used and the site of Dinting signalbox . Platform 1 was also the passing place for the former Woodhead Line with its gantries looking like they originate from the days they used to carry 1500V wires. Behind is Dinting viaduct and many a book contains pictures of Class 76's in multiple rumbling over with loaded coal trains from the Yorkshire coalfields to Fiddlers Ferry Power station.
Many thanks to the driver for the day .
