Halifax

A Huddersfield to Leeds via Bradford working leaves Halifax and is just about to enter Beacon Hill tunnel. 155343 is passing the still operational signalbox, which once also controlled the junction with the GN&LY Jt line to Bradford via the Queensbury Triangle. That steeply graded line closed to passengers in 1955, leaving only this direct route that is still busy today.
