Naburn
The original 1871 ECML route through Yorkshire ran between Shaftholme Junction near Doncaster and Chaloners Whin Junction to the south of York. In 1983 BR opened a new alignment further west, running between Temple Hirst and Colton Junctions. This more direct route avoided major coalfield developments, as well as the two swing bridges over the River Ouse at Selby and Naburn. The latter is seen here looking north towards York in September 2008, by which time the old swing bridge, now permanently locked and with its overhead control cabin removed, had become part of the national cycle network
