Take a journey back to early 1995 for a selection of British Rail freight action around Stenson Junction and Willington in Derbyshire.

This four-minute archive film captures a variety of freight workings from the final years of British Rail, with Class 31s, Class 47s and a Class 56 featuring.

Among the highlights is freight activity around Stenson Junction, followed by footage at Willington, including a train emerging from the sidings serving the former Willington Power Station.

The film finishes with a Class 56-hauled MGR coal train, providing a glimpse of the heavy freight traffic that was still a familiar sight on Britain's railway network in the mid-1990s.
