First series 'Peak' D9 Snowdon has taken the chord line from Beighton Jn (on the ex MR 'Old Road' between Chesterfield and Rotherham) to the ex GCR Retford - Sheffield Victoria line at Woodhouse East Jn, so its destination may well be Rotherwood Sidings. That being the case its load of Nottinghamshire(?) coal is likely to be bound for the west side of the Pennines via the Woodhead Route.
Location: Beighton Junction
