All photographs of this railway in date order.
![Fixed installations such as this one go a long way towards explaining why BR was lumbered with conveying short wheelbase mineral wagons well into the fourth quarter of the 20th century. An unbraked 16 tonner is unloaded into the hold of a ship at Goole Docks on the evening of 16th May 1974.<br><br>[Bill Jamieson 16/05/1974]](/images/42000/42208.jpg "Goole [L and Y]")

In the background a Pacer that had arrived on a terminating service from Leeds via Castleford waits to drop back into the platform for the return trip. 56078 was taken out of service in May 2007 but after a long period of storage was returned to the main line with Colas in 2014 hauling Chirk bound log trains.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 22/09/1994]](/images/28000/28020.jpg "Knottingley")
