Freightliner on Route Learning for Weekend Engineering work at Penistone - 9795+799

* Ecclesfield
After Penistone, and taking a few shots of the old Woodhead track-bed at the other side of the station, the now fully-fenced off Woodhead lines, thought this might have been a small restful nature reserve with the odd seat or two but no, totally shut off, for the time being I suppose.. So, leaving and looking, the time-table indicated the L.E. move would take about a half-hour to get back into the area further south, en-route to Mill Race Junction. It was just do-able I thought, to get from here to Ecclesfield in that time and due to light traffic and an easy route, I arrived with around 5-6 minutes to spare on the Blackburn Valley Line at Butterthwaite, over-looking what used to be the Ecclesfield West (Midland) Signal box area, over to the left on the bend. A Northern class 150 DMU and a class 195 were running ahead of the Light engine and the 150 appeared soon enough, followed by class 195, 'Civity', 'CAF, Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A.', 195014 on the 1Y17, Leeds via Sheffield to Nottingham service, looking very smart in this area... Four minutes later, the horn went indication approach to the distant foot-crossing and Freightliner class 66, 66550, came into view once more, running about 5 minutes late here as it looked as if it had been held for a short while at Wombwell. The reason for this, maybe, was the the earlier class 150 DMU, 150277, running on 2L63, Leeds to Sheffield, was about 20 minute slate, with the 195 behind it. No matter, it was down now to 5 minutes for the Freightliner as it rattled along the track passing the now 'greyed-out' relay building on the left, once heavily graffiti'd, see-

Today, heading south for reversal at Mill Race Junction is Freightliner 66550, on the 0D22, Hunslet Yard(FLHH) via Penistone & Barnsley to Mill Race Junction working and is now just 10 minutes from terminating before setting off back to Leeds..
