26005 stands at the head of a lineup of EMI (BR Class 76) 1.5kV DC electric locomotives in October 1962. They are standing in the raised sidings at Wath, awaiting their turns to take coal trains west over the Woodhead route, the task for which they were built. The main Wath marshalling yards are behind the camera, with 41C Wath shed standing off to the left.
