6-55pm : After leaving the coal wagons on the coal supply road, the Jinty now has to return the brake van to the goods yard.
She is seen here exiting the shed onto the Up Main
before crossing over to the Down Main
and then shunting across to the branch
and then to the goods yard where the brake van will be detached on a siding as instructed by the yard foreman.

After waiting for an Up loaded ICI limestone hopper train to pass at 7pm, the Jinty exits the yard
and retraces her steps to the loco shed
and returns to the coaling supply road.

8-05pm : Ex LNER J50 0-6-0T number 68959 rounds the curve past the locoshed with a short trip freight, comprising one lowmac and a brake van.
A few minutes later she passes through the station on the Up Main
before coming to a halt opposite the exchange sidings.
She then propels her train back onto the sidings of Albion Engineering Ltd.
Leaving the brake van on one siding she then pulls forward again
before shunting the lowmac onto the other siding. The engineering company have hired in a road crane to unload the large packing case on the lowmac, which contains a brand new widget making machine.
The J50 then collects the brake van before heading back to the main line.

As always, very atmospheric shots. It all really captures the feel of the industrial North-West. Keep them coming.
