31316 at Wath Yard
An improved version of an image first uploaded to Flickr many years ago.
It is 1982, and in this view of Wath Yard, taken from the parapet of Moor Road Bridge, Class 31 no. 31316 is marshalling an engineer's train that has been engaged in track removal work elsewhere on the former Woodhead system. The yard appears remarkably busy (relatively speaking) with Class 56 no. 56105 and another 31 waiting to work trains out, and a Class 08 on shunting duties to the right. Over on the left in the distance another Class 08 is engaged in some engineering activity, possibly more track lifting. The former diesel depot can be seen in the background immediately above the Class 31. The picture was taken on 22nd September.
