BR in the 1990s Milford Junction South Milford Yorks on 22nd October 1993

BRITISH RAILWAYS IN THE 1990's
Milford Junction (South Milford. Yorks) on 22nd October 1993
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of the very active Milford Junction near to Selby and Ferrybridge in South Yorkshire. Lots of traffic was seen feeding the hungry power stations in the area such as Ferrybridge, Selby and others scattered around. Sadly most if not all have closed or converted to other means of fuel other than coal. These trains were mainly class 58 hauled or 56. The occasional class 37 and 47 were also captured on this visit. 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.

Really enjoyed that! Back when coal was King…
Never seen so many Bones in one video!
What great location that must have been. It’s another one I never got to visit.
But thanks for sharing your precious footage with us.

Great video as always. Can I just ask - is that an old station platform you're standing on?

[@spompey]

It was probably South Milford station.....Many thanks and best regards.....Mark

I was at Church Fenton for two years in the mid 80's and never went there. What was wrong with me????? I did get there in August 2006 with not a class 58 in sight sadly!!😪

[@spompey]

It certainly was a mecca for class 58 enthusiasts....sadly yes the place is just about dead....many thanks for watching...Mark
