the Woodhead Line

the Woodhead Line
People who know more than me about the end of its use say this must be the Winter 82/83 as the overhead cabling has gone.

I love the snow covered hill in the background. The rails make a super leading line and there are some nice horizontal and vertical lines to add interest in the foreground.

82/83 must have been a rough old year up there!

The track still looks in good condition so a Presume parts of it are still occasionally used.

No sorry the date is wrong on this. It is from 1982/3 the tracks were all taken up soon after and roads areall full of lorries when at least some of the frieght could have been passing under the Pennines.
