Peak Rail Presents - Doug Copley's Lineside Images #13.4 Industrial Locomotives Vol.1 (1990s)

#1 TEMPLEBOROUGH (Nr M1 Tinsley Viaduct) - ROTHERHAM ENGINEERING STEELS & ALONGSIDE THE RIVER DON Rotherham Engineering Steels produced continuous-cast steel bars before closing in 1993, Views of the internal shunting fleet at work. #2 DOVE HOLES QUARRY, PEAK DALE and .PEAK FOREST FREIGHT YARD Glorious sunshine. A pair of Sentinel 0-6-0 diesel-hydraulic shunters are assisted by the lovely gronk engine-tickover sounds of 08-918 slowly moving heavy rakes of loaded bogie hoppers. On the main line a pair of Class 37s with a rake of empty ICI vacuum-braked bogie hoppers make a brief call in the station as they make their way back to Tunstead Quarry. #3 SHEFFIELD ATTERCLIFFE The substantial works of Hadfields and Brown Bayley Steels have already gone alongside the former Great Central tracks paralleling the South Yorkshire Navigation. Still remaining at the time of filming could be found BOC's Liquid Oxygen Storage Depot, the scrapyard of Thomas W Ward, and the works of Tinsley Wire Industries Ltd. The sidings from all these premises fed into Broughton Lane Goods Depot. #4 TUNSTEAD QUARRY & THE ADJOINING GREAT ROCKS JCT AREA Back to the Peak District and Buxton Lime Industries Tunstead Quarry, the largest in Europe. Many industrial shunters around the site and Class 37s working limestone hoppers. #5 COALITE SMOKELESS FUELS AT BOLSOVER 58026 arrives with a rake of coal hoppers from Kiveton Colliery and splits the rake into 2 sidings before returning the empties from the previous arrival to Worksop Yard. The works shunter, a 1968 built Rolls-Royce 0-6-0 diesel hydraulic, deals with the loaded arrival and prepares the return rake of empties for despatch. #6 COOPERS METALS LTD SCRAPYARD, SHEFFIELD ATTERCLIFFE (LATER BECAME EUROPEAN METAL RECYCLING) Accessed off the mainline at Brightside, Coopers scrapyard is bordered on one side by the River Don, and on the other by the former Attercliffe Goods depot of the former Sheffield District Railway. #7 BRANCH TO SMITHYWOOD COKING PLANT Starting with the incline from Tinsley West Jct and up past Meadow Hall signal box we see a Class 08 and then a pair of Class 20s with empties for Smithywood to collect a load of coke. We get a brake van ride up the branch, At the coking plant we get a steam footplate ride on an 0-6-0 Hunslet rebuild of a wartime austerity saddle tank. #8 TINSLEY WEST JCT SIGNALBOX Back down the branch to see Tinsley West Signal Box and Cyril the resident signalman. Tinsley West is over-shadowed by the M1 Tinsley Viaduct. We catch the lampman's weekly visit to trim the 3 oil lamps and replenish with paraffin oil. #9 BLACKBURN MEADOWS SEWAGE WORKS - delightfully smelly! The other side of M1 Tinsley viaduct to Tinsley West Jct signalbox. Two shunters here - an 0-4-0 diesel electric built by Ruston & Hornsby in Lincon in 1961, and an 0-4-0 diesel hydraulic built by Thomas Hill in 1976. They worked a fleet of side-tipping hopper wagons built by Charles Roberts of Wakefield to carry the sewage sludge along the former GC metals from Tinsley East Junction through Templeborough, Ickles, and Rotherham Holmes before wafting their pungent smell under the noses of passengers waiting at Rotherham Central as the open-topped wagons passed through on their way to Thrybergh tip for emptying! #10 YORKSHIRE ENGINE COMPANY A brief visit to the premises of the former Yorkshire Engine Company at Meadow Hall. At the time of filming now occupied by Allied Steel & Wire, and stored at the side were some examples of products from Yorkshire Engine Co.from the former Allied Steel & Wire at Cardiff. Allied Steel & Wire was shunted by a BR '08' but 08-870 disgraced itself by derailing on the final day of working, and awaits re-railing. #11 DAVY UNITED, ENGINEERING WORKS, SHEFFIELD DARNALL The now isolated tracks of Davy United's internal rail system connecting the various engineering, machinery, and assembly shops. The short wheelbase of a small 0-4-0 chain-driven diesel-hydraulic rebuilt by Thomas Hill in 1967 using the frames and wheels of a vertical-boilered Sentinel steam loco, is ideally suited for shunting wagons over the tight curves. #12 OGREAVE COKING PLANT Four miles east of Sheffield City Centre. Busy scenes of the fleet of Yorkshire Engine Co 'Janus' 0-6-0 centre-cab shunters at work on the extensive network connecting the colliery to the coking ovens, and then the BR interchange sidings at Treeton from where rakes of high-sided coke hoppers transport the relatively lightweight coke to the blast furnaces at British Steel Scunthorpe steelworks. For many years the coke trains were hauled by double-headed Brush Type 2 (Class 31) before type 5 freight locos became available to work single-handed.
