Sheffield District Railway Part 2
Sheffield District Railway Part 2 - Tinsley Marshalling Yard & Motive Power Depot, Meadowhall, Brightside disused railway.
We round off our explore of the Sheffield District Railway in South Yorkshire by picking up where we left off at the entrance to Tinsley yard and the Ukranian class 66.
This is the entrance to the Tinsley Motive Power Depot,or Tinsley Traction Mantenance Depot. Opening in the 1964 and closing in 1998. We talk a little about the history and take a look at some photos and memories of the open days.
Next to the depot was Tinsley Marshalling Yard. Also brought about by the Sheffield Railway Rationalisation program in the 1960s. A Dowty wagon sorting system was used with a hump shunt to sort wagons that same into the yard and place them on to their new trains.
The yard started to decline in the 1980s and was almost all gone by the late 1990s. Recently the yard has started to see freight again with the opening of the Sheffield International Rail Freight Terminal (SIRFT).
We also look at the original line that the Sheffield District Railway followed before the opening of Tinsley yard. This included the Tinsley Wood Tunnel.
Next we head up to Brightside Junction and look at the former Brightside Station, disused since 1995 We follow what we can of the trackbed over the Rier Don Viaduct and behind the Meadowhall Shopping Centre until we reach the bridge abutment on Sheffied Road. This was the site of West Tinsley station.
