'Caroline' & 37418 out-and-about again around the local network - 3950+953

* Woodburn Junction
As a Sheffield Tram/Train service cross over Woodburn Road bridge in the background, en-route from Parkgate Retail in Rotherham to the right and Sheffield Cathedral in the distance over on the left, 66742, takes its rake of Bogie Aggregate Hopper Wagons across the main lines, making its way onto the down line into Sheffield. The only remnant of any signalling infrastructure which was once here, is now bestowed in the small, fenced, lineside relay/control cabin on the left. Remarkable as it may sound, a line used to go down to Sheffield Midland Station from this side of the cabin, taking moves off the Lincoln line and into Midland Station, a good example of this can be seen in the 'Window on the Past' piece recently uploaded and showing a class 45 charter train making its way off the line here and down to Midland Station, see right-hand centre shot here-

All that has now gone of course, the remodelling of the lines here and the removal of the box have all made, yet again, for a much less interesting rail formation with now a simpler cross-over and the Stocksbridge line connection now taken off the up line under the bridge and the connection to the Lower Don Valley now brought all the way along to here, just the other side of the wagons; not that there are many moves along that branch, the steel train stopped running 8 months ago and that appears to be that. Now all that's left are occasional Test Train forays, see-

where 37418 & 'Caroline' had a trip up the branch to Deepcar in early May, and the odd charter, one occuring just a few months ago on April 11th, see-

when 'The Last Chance Railtour' ventured up the branch. This is the daily, almost, G.B.R.f. class 66, 66742, 'ABP Port of Immingham Centenary 1912-2012' move, 6M01, clattering along the track towards the Nunnery area passing the Supertram depot on the left just under the bridge, and it will await passage into Sheffield, at just after 11am. It is running on the usual Bardon Hill(GBRf) to Tinsley Yard(GBRf) working with a rake of 20 empty, and graffiti'd, JGA Bogie Aggregate Hopper Wagons.
