Healey Mills Railway Yard (Wakefield. Yorks) on 24th May 1994
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Healey Mills Railway Yard near Wakefield on 24/05/1994. Filmed from the busy road bridge overlooking the yard at Healey Mills the place looks very run down and apart from a few light engine moves I captured on tape a couple of freights meandering past. To compare what the site looks like today where nature has really taken a grip and trees have sprouted everywhere it is hard to believe this yard was so busy many years back. To think how it was when Wath Yard was open at the same time just down the line. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.
