Thoresby Colliery
60081 has left Thoresby Colliery Junction heading for the loading bunker at Thoresby with empty MGR wagons from Toton in 2002. Photographed from the A6078 Ollerton Road bridge the short branch was pretty inaccessible. There was no run round facility at the mine and the loaded train would propel back to Thoresby Junction! Thoresby was the last deep mine left working in Nottinghamshire but has since closed.
