Line to Cottam Power Station, 1983
Line to Cottam Power Station, 1983
View NW, on the loop built in 1969 to serve the new power station, off the Clarborough Junction - Sykes Junction section of the ex-GC Sheffield - Retford - Lincoln main line, which was closed 2/11/59 with diversion of trains through Gainsborough but retained Clarborough Junction - Cottam for merry-go-round coal traffic. Cottam station had been just round the bend ahead. (The cooling-towers in the distance belong to West Burton PS). (Cf. SK8179 : Railway line to Cottam Power Station and SK8179 : Station House, Cottam).
