Denby
When I last visited the Denby opencast disposal point, in 1995, it was still in regular use but it closed in 1999. In the 1990s it regularly saw Class 56 and Class 58 locos on the coal trains. Ten years after closure the rails are still in situ and this view from the level crossing shows the start of the run-round loop and its associated point levers. Perhaps the location should be called Kilburn, the name of the passenger station on the opposite side of the level crossing, but that closed in 1930 along with passenger services along this line to Ripley.
