Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Westward from above Woodhead Tunnel.
View from A628 in 1951, when the ex-Great Central Sheffield (Victoria) - Manchester main line was not only still running, but having a New Woodhead Tunnel being built for it , prior to the whole route being electrified. (See SK1199 : Westward view at Woodhead, SK1199 : Locomotive (Derailed) and other scenes submitted together Shared Description). In this view the new tunnel portal is below to left and the new Woodhead Station will be built on this alignment. The new station was opened with the New Tunnel and the initiation of full electrification on 14/6/54, the Old (single-bore) Tunnels and Station being closed simultaneously. Here the main lines disappear towards Manchester (an Up freight blows off in the Up Loop), beside the River Etherow, which leads into the reservoirs down Longdendale.
