ORG038-Cutting to Orgreaves Sidings-Colliery (Left) and Coking Plant (Right) Lines-Orgreave Coke Works-23-01-1977

            Immediately after diverging away from the G.C.R. main line, the branch line to Orgreave Colliery, and the branch line to Orgreave Coke Ovens and By-product Works separated. The branch line to Orgreave Colliery, as seen on the left-hand-side of this image, descended sharply into the Colliery Yard. The branch line to Orgreave Coke Ovens and By-product Works, as seen on the right-hand-side of this image, took a more leisurely descent, before it divided into two separate branches, one following the course of a gradually descending loop around to the West, whilst the other, descended more sharply, at a gradient of 1 in 24, passing over a concrete viaduct, and into the bottom yard.

Access to the Orgreave Colliery East Sidings and West Sidings, from the Orgreave Colliery Branch, and from the Orgreave Coke Ovens and By-product Works Branch were controlled by semaphore signals, operated from Orgreaves Colliery Signal Box. The signal for the Orgreave Colliery Branch was controlled by Lever No.69, and the signal for Orgreave Coke Ovens and By-product Works branch was controlled by Lever No.61.
