Moorthorpe
After leaving York on 2 May 1981, ex-S&DJR 7F No. 13809 heads south through Moorthorpe to Sheffield, where it will hand over the Pines Express excursion to 'Peak' No. 45 075 for the return to Leicester. Moorthorpe still boasted a nice collection of semaphore signals at that time, the arm on the extreme left giving access off the Swinton and Knottingley Joint line, which the special has traversed from Ferrybridge, onto the ex GNR Doncaster to Leeds line.
