    Woodhead Tunnel, looking West, in May 1986. As the label states, the track ended at that point!  Woodhead Route 1986  (3257)
    I discovered this when passing through the area on my way to a holiday in Scotland in 1998. I couldn't stop to take a photo of it, but when I came up the following year I made a point of stopping off to get an image. It's visible from the minor road on the way out of Dunford Bridge, but is some way off it on private land. Note: the photo was taken with the land owner's permission.  Woodhead Route 1986  (2618)

    The old Thurgoland Tunnel, seen from the Sheffield end, in April 1986. Note the additional brick lining, which prevented the tunnel from being double tracked  Woodhead Route 1986  (2007)

    12 I paid another visit to the area, with my camera, during Summer 1999. This is - or rather was - Torside crossing, looking towards Hadfield. It's really hard to believe there was a railway there at all!  Woodhead Route 1986  (1560)
