English: Healey Mills Yard - latter days of Steam.
View NW, towards Mirfield, Huddersfield/Sowerby Bridge/Halifax, Manchester etc. The ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire (Calder Valley) main line (Manchester - Sowerby Bridge - Wakefield - Normanton) is skirting the Yard on the far side. The Yard was only opened in 1963, as a concentration point replacing a number of Yards in the region, but 45 years later is itself virtually defunct. Here BR Standard 5MT 4-6-0 No. 73157 pulls away eastbound with a train of flat-wagons (?for motor-cars). The vast Yard does not seem very active, although two of the - then still numerous - ex-WD 2-8-0s can be seen in the distance, while Modernity is evidenced by the brake-tender (for main-line Diesels) visible in the siding (centre-left).
