Class 40 locomotive 40052 (D252) heads a train of empty coal wagons past Horbury Station Junc, just east of Healey Mills marshalling yard.
The line trailing in on the left from Crigglestone Junc which was freight only has since been lifted.
40052 was new to York as D252 on the 21/12/59 withdrawn from Longsight 19/06/83 cut up 28/10/83 at BREL Crewe

this one time I would of actually wish I had my video camera with me.the ped sounding wonderful with horns blazing.
A very derelict LMS class 11 shunter, 12122 with class 03 D2049 behind it at British Oak disposal point, Crigglestone, 9th June 1985. This loco was visited again 3 months after these photos where taken, when more photos were taken by John and myself. They will appear in due course.
Crigglestone All Black forward Aaron Gaunt is seen here having been tackled but still able to successfully release the ball in a recent game against Farnley Falcons.

Class 31 no. 31228 passes through Chapeltown on the Sheffield to Barnsley line in August 1978, with a summer Saturday service to Llandudno.
This train would use the triangle at Crigglestone Junction to gain the Wakefield Kirkgate to Hudddersfield line via Healey Mills and would combine with the York portion at Huddersfield.
One of the shorter lived of the British Railways modernisation plan class of locomotives, the class 14's. They were largely surplus to requirement when completed as their intended use for local trip work and pick up freights were rapidly vanishing from the railway network in the mid 1960's as the road haulage industry took work from the railways.
D9531 was new to Cardiff Canton Depot (86A) on 02/02/1965 but soon moved to Swansea Llandore Depot in May 1965 before another move the same year in December 1965 to Bristol Bath Road Depot. It work out of Bristol for a year before returning to its first depot, Cardiff Canton in December 1966. By May 1967 it was game over for D9531 just 2 years and 3 months BR service and it was stored out of use at Worcester Shrub Hill Yard. Official withdrawal followed the same year on 30/12/1967. The National Coal Board and several other large industrial concerns took an interest in the nearly new 650hp locomotives and bought numerous examples direct from BR but D9531 was sold from its location at Worcester to W.H. Arncott Young scrap merchants at Parkgate, Rotherham in May 1968. The loco arrived a few months later but never got broken up and was instead resold to the NCB. Unlike many of its class mates that went direct to the extensive NCB Ashington system in Northumberland D9531 went to the NCBOE British Oak opencast mine at Crigglestone in West Yorkshire. It spent 5 years in Yorkshire before moving to the NCB North East Area initially at Burradon Colliery before ending up in February 1974 at the NCB Ashington system where a large fleet of ex BR class 14's were based. Its career with the NCB ended in 1987 when it was laid up at Ashington and sold the same year to C.F. Booths scrapyard, Rotherham. Thankfully it's appointment with the gas axe never came and instead it was resold by Booth's into preservation and arrived at its new home on the East Lancs Railway in October 1987.
Two years after entering preservation D9531 is seen resplendent in BR two tone green livery stabled in Bury Castlecroft Sidings with a BTU departmental coach.

Locomotive History
03037 was built at Swindon Works as D2037 and entered traffic in February 1959 allocated to Norwich MPD. It would spend its entire British Railways career allocated to Norwich until withdrawal in September 1976. Following withdrawal it was sold in 1977 to British Oak for industrial service at Crigglestone, Wakefield. By 1985 it was out of service and in poor condition and surprisingly in 1989 it was bought by the National Coal Board. Following overhaul it was sent to Oxcroft Opencast Disposal Point, Clowne, Derbyshire where it remained until purchased by Harry Needle in July 1995 for preservation. It moved to the South Yorkshire Railway until 2001 when it moved to the Lavender Line, Sussex. Its next move was to Peak Rail in May 2004 where it remained until 2012 when it moved to the Royal Deeside Railway (via a short spell at the Foxfield Railway) where it can currently February 2016) be found.
A field of hay, and seasons graft i'd passed , the day before I roused at 6.
unusual for me to wake at such a time, intentions burning, scenes in mind.
Given that this afternoon sees the Challenge Cup final at Wembley between Hull FC and Wigan Warriors it only seems right ataht I post a rugby image.
This image isn't from etc hallowed turf that is Wembley stadium, but during a home game between Crigglestone All Blacks and Farnley Falcons. Aaron Gaunt is seen attacking the Farnley line.

There is a hive of activety and interest in this old view of Crigglestone Junction. Their were a pair of 37's on duty that day 37163 and 37003. 003 is seen at the far side of the signal box.
My nephew, Owen feels the full force of the tackle. He was playing for Crigglestone All Blacks against Cutsyke.
Cutsyke ran out narrow 18-16 winners in a game that neither team deserved to loose.

Locomotive History
Originally 13023 and then later under the 1957 renumbering scheme D3023 it was built at Derby in 1953 and allocated to Cricklewood. Throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s it was allocated to Cricklewood until transferred to Bescot in 1967. In May 1968 it migrated to Bletchley and spent eleven months at Toton from December 1973 before transfer to Newton Heath from where it was withdrawn in May 1980. Following withdrawal it was sold to the National Coal Board and transferred to the British Oak Disposal Point, Crigglestone where it worked until sold for preservation.
Thursday morning 7.35am baffled commuters are wondering what two men are waiting, sharing the same set of steps, on the A636 at Calder Grove, north of Sheffield. 20 305 and 20 303 were to be noted working 3S12 06.55 Sheffield to Sheffield RHTT circular just at the official sunrise time with some of the trees stubbornly hanging onto their leaves. The train is passing under the Crigglestone Viaduct (19 arches), constructed by the Midland Railway, opened in 1905 running from Royston Junction and connecting with the L&Y at Thornhill Midland Junction. 1 March 1906 saw the line extended from Middlestown Junction into Dewsbury to serve the Savile Town Goods Depot. The Goods Depot closed on 18 December 1950 and the line was cut back to Middlestown Junction, the end came in 1968 when the original section from Royston to Middlestown closed for good.
Here's a shot from a recent amateur game between Crigglestone All Blacks and Hollingworth. One of the Crigglestone team does get tackled here but not from the chap receiving the handoff.
Crigglestone went on to win this game easily and no doubt it was a long coach trip back to Oldham for Hollingworth.
I don't know that he went into the tackle with his eyes shut but that's how he looked at the moment of impact. The Crigglestone All Black player would end up on the loosing team as they went down 42-24 against a solid and stocky Sheffield Hawkes team.

Billy Greensmith a prop for Crigglestone All Blacks is brought to ground by means of what looks to me like illegal means. Yesterdays game between Crigg and Cutsyke was played in good spirit, but there were a few high shots and this particular tackle stood out to me as being a little over the top. In rugby, both codes I believe, you are not allowed to lift the legs in a tackle above the horizontal. The risk of course being the potential neck injuries from what is known as a spear tackle.
Billy was uninjured in this tackle but did have to be helped off the field later in the game after injuring his right ankle. Lets hope all is well as he has only just returned after a twelve month absence following breaking his leg last year.
The British Rail Class 14 is a type of small diesel-hydraulic locomotive built in the mid-1960s. Twenty-six of these 0-6-0 locomotives were ordered in January 1963, to be built at British Railways Swindon Works.
The anticipated work for this class was yard shunting, trip work (between local yards) and short distance freight trains.
The order was expanded to 56 in mid-1963, before work had started on the first order.
In July 1964, the first of a class of 56 locomotives appeared from Swindon Works.
These were later designated as TOPS Class 14 by British Railways.
They are known as 'Teddy Bears' by enthusiasts, following a comment by Swindon Works' foreman George Cole who quipped "We've built the Great Bear, now we're going to build a Teddy Bear!"
In outline they resembled the Clayton Type 1 (Class 17) locomotives, having a cab which was nearly central with bonnets at each end, but with a fixed 0-6-0 wheel configuration rather than bogies as seen on all the other Type 1 classes. The locomotives were powered by a Paxman 6-cylinder Ventura 6YJXL engine producing 650 bhp (485 kW), connected to a Voith L217U hydraulic transmission and Hunslet gearbox.
The axles were connected by coupling rods and driven by a jackshaft located under the cab, between the second and third axles.
The Class 14s, like many other early types of diesel, had an extremely short life with British Railways, in this case not because of poor reliability but because many of its envisaged duties disappeared on the BR network a few years after they came into use. Most were resold for industrial use, where the vast majority had a working life of two to three times that with British Railways.
However, the industries in which they were employed, such as coal mining, declined during the 1970s and the class again became surplus to requirements.
Several have found a third lease of life on preserved lines where they are ideal for both light passenger work and the maintenance of permanent way.
Unusually, D9504 was leased in 2005 from its preservation group and found itself in revenue-earning service on the newest mainline in the UK – High Speed 1 (known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link during construction) – mainly in marshalling and stabling the 450 metre, 22-wagon concrete-pumping train on the final stretch to St.Pancras Station.
D9524 was re-engined under the ownership of BP Grangemouth – it was later re-engined again under the ownership of the Scottish RPS who, following BR practice, gave it a number of 14 901. It now operates with a Rolls-Royce DV8TCE (640 bhp).
The last locomotive built, D9555, was the final locomotive to be built for British Rail at Swindon Works, in 1965; today the locomotive is privately owned and operates on the Dean Forest Railway, Gloucestershire, its original route.

In more ways than one Crigglestone All Blacks took a beating yesterday in their game against Boothown Terriers. Crigg are a young developing team who have a lot of quality, but also a great deal of youth. Given time they will develop into a very useful outfit and gain a little more bulk, but at the moment despite their endeavour they come unstuck from time to time.
Yesterday was one such case. They were 28-0 own at half time, my nephew did score but it was disallowed and after he made this thoughts known to the referee he was sin binned for dissent for ten minutes. To their credit Crigg applied themselves really well in the second half and finished the game loosing 46-16.
Unfortunately at the end of the game after Criggletones last try by Oli Greensmith (just selected for England under 18's amateur team) Boothtown took exception to something and an all out brawl ensued. Two of the young Crigg forwards are seen here showing their wounds. Both would get themselves checked out.
Ok, this image was taken in a local amateur game, but it serves the purpose of reminding all that there will be a good deal of Rugby League hype over etc next six weeks.
The opening game will see England Take on the much fancied Australian team in their own back yard.
This image, however shows Crigglestone All Blacks forward Aaron Gaunt distributing the ball close to the Farnley falcons line.
Crigglestone All Blacks played their last game of the season this afternoon against Ossett. Unfortunately decorating duties stopped me attending and no doubt subsequently sorting and labelling rugby pictures all night. Instead, here's a picture from earlier in the season of my nephew Owen Firth as he is seen making a determined run out of defence.

Here, we have four Guy Wulfrunians (or at least, two complete ones and two parts) in one photograph. The location is, of course, West Riding’s Belle Isle depot in Wakefield.
It is interesting to note that one of the ornate lamp standards on the pillars by the entrance to the yard has been replaced by a more modern unit. Strangely, only this pillar has survived to today, albeit without its lamp. The other pillar and the ornate lamp, have vanished without trace. Keep an eye out on eBay….
In the foreground of the photograph is today’s Wulfrunian 888 (THL888) in the mid-life livery and with the blind set for the 92 service. Up to 1968, the route was from Leeds Central Bus Station to Woolley Moor via John O Gaunts, Rothwell, Wakefield and Crigglestone but it was subsequently cut back to Hall Green.
The other Wulfrunian, to the left hand side of the photograph, is 879 (THL879) that was featured a week or so ago. Its blind is set for the 189 Wakefield to Leeds via Castleford and Micklefield.
03037 with its wheels out and up on blocks, under repair at British Oak, Crigglestone. 17th September 1985.
Locomotive, “Princess”, built by the Hunslet Engine Company Ltd, Leeds, in 1893, is seen here, stored, out of use, and awaiting disposal, at Woolley Colliery, Darton, on 17/03/1963.
Built by Hunslet Engine Company Ltd, Leeds, to Works No.572, in 1893, for Fountain and Burnley Ltd, and delivered, new, presumably to their Woolley Colliery, Darton, where it was named, “Princess”. The locomotive is recorded as being transferred to the British Oak Disposal Point, Crigglestone, in 1947, being returned back, to Woolley Colliery, in 1949, and from where, it was transferred to Wharncliffe Woodmoor No.1-3 Colliery, Carlton, between June, and August 1949, once again, being returned back, to Woolley Colliery, between September 1949, and March 1950. It is believed that this locomotive was scrapped, on-site, at Woolley Colliery, between August 1963, and March 1964.
