Walton
GBRf 66749 heads south along the former four track Midland Main line, shortly after passing the former Sandal & Walton station site, with a cargo of silica sand from Middleton Towers in Norfolk destined for the glassworks at Monk Bretton near Barnsley. The section of track forward of the loco originally ran through a tunnel, but was opened up when the line was increased from two tracks to four.
