The WTT, Working Time-Table, or Woodhouse, Tinsley & Thornhill - 7282+294

            * Thornhill
Finally, on the opposite side of bridge '2/142', seen in the earlier picture, and at 162miles and 55chains from London, a 'chain' in this context is-
'... a unit of length that measures 66feet, or 22yards and is 100 links or 4 rods(20.1168m). There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains (that is, an area of one chain by one furlong)', is yet another set of bolts. The view looks north along the down line with the the aggregates crushing business on the left in the foreground, and yet more silver bolts atop the old stone wall, awaiting their fixtures. Aldwarke Steelworks can be seen in the curve of the wall, blurred by the lack of depth of field at their distance; one of the bolts pointing purposely towards the works and the now defunct 'Bunnings Warehouse', another of the recent casualties in the era of 'Brexit Nightmares'; though in this case Bunnings demise has nothing to do with that particular fiasco. On the right, the pair of Freightliners, 66956 & 66619, whizzed past and this frame shows them passing both the now defunct Bunnings D.I.Y. store with an Eddie Stobart delivery truck in the car park, so it may well not have quiet closed yet, though there are no other vehicles of any note there and, in the background, the large Steelworks at PArkgate and Aldwarke, whence comes the nightly steel train to Stocksbridge. The continuing difficulties in taking shots along the Midland Main Line to the north is now also apparent which is a great shame as there is an interesting, changing background, as at other locales suffering the same problem, which can always be included to add depth to the passage of the varying traction types. Will have to see what happens in the coming weeks and months and of course there IS the large Network Rail program which has just started, but has been halted, to remove a vast amount of vegetation and tree-growth, permanently, from the lineside; something which has already caused a good deal of 'uproar'...
