Ecklands

Having earlier worked a train of empty vacuum-braked coal hoppers to Sheffield, 76051 has not found a return load on offer and makes its way back westwards light engine, seen here at Ecklands, west of Penistone, on 17 July 1981. This would almost certainly be its last trip through Woodhead Tunnel.
