SK4354 : Up coal train at Cotes Park Sidings, Erewash Valley line
taken 58 years ago, near to Somercotes, Derbyshire, Great Britain

Up coal train at Cotes Park Sidings, Erewash Valley line
View NW, towards Chesterfield and the North: ex-Midland Erewash Valley main line. Seen from a train on the Down Fast between Pye Bridge and Alfreton, an Up coal (?or empties) is passing Cotes Park Sidings on its way south - typical of the constant procession of such trains and probably going to Toton Yard. It is headed by Stanier 8F 2-8-0 No. 48371 (built 1944, withdrawn 10/67), passing an ex-WD 2-8-0 on the right. The south portal of Alfreton Tunnel is just visible far left.
