Taken from the same spot as the previous photo, but one year on. August 1968, notable in British Railway history as the month that working steam finished. As seen from the previous photo, Woodley was the local steam hotspot, with what seemed like a continuous procession of steam hauled freight, the majority of it to and from the Heaton Mersey direction and Woodhead. The Black 5s, 8Fs and 9Fs gave way to Sulzer Type 2, EE Type 4 and Brush Type 4. (Class 24/25, 40 and 47). Here we see a Derby built DMU - Class 108 - departing Woodley with a local service to Manchester Piccadilly. 28Aug68. Scanned
