Freight Trains using the Roundwood Chord at Mexborough Junction. 4K
Player
Description
Just to the west of Mexborough station is Mexborough Junction from which branches off the Roundwood chord to avoid the line to Swinton. The chord starts as a single track which turn into some freight loops before going back to single track to rejoin the line from Swinton to Sheffield.
Just because a train is scheduled to use the chord doesn't always mean it will use it, and those scheduled through Swinton will sometimes take the chord.
Here are some of the freight trains I have filmed using the chord this year. One of the regulars for the chord is the 4L73 which is scheduled to remain in one of the loops for just over an hour.
