    I have worked as a railman for 23 years, my 3 year old son has cancer and my plans.

    Hey jim. Hang in there man. I am recovering from a brain hemmorhage/stroke. It`s been a long road, these last 4 years, but, i`m getting there. In my experience, children, seem to be the biggest fighters. Looking at those pictures, in a short while, you`ll be be looking back on it all, thinking...

    Chapeltown (sheffield), railway bridge?

    Does anyone have a picture of the railway bridge, across white lane in chapeltown. It led, from the old GCR station. I can`t seem to find anything, anywhere.

    Westwood rail station, sheffield.

    Thought so. Where was the entrance? There must have been a station house, booking office, waiting room, etc. Do any photos exist, anywhere? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Read in a book today. All traces of westwood station, dissapeared, when the area was landscaped in 1978.

    The railway`s, are like a foreign country to me these day`s. I know, i sound like an old record, but, while still in BR ownership, the railway`s were fun. No problems with photo taking, you could go, virtually, anywhere on a station.

    Ah, Doncaster. I had some good spotting days here. When the Deltics still ruled. In fact, I gave up railways, when the Deltics were withdrawn. Saw some photos of Doncaster plant. Very sad indeed. I have some pictures, of when I was on a visit. The class 50s were being refurbished.

    Westwood rail station, sheffield.

    Ah. Thanks a lot. I have been looking in the wrong place. I thought, it was in the clearing, where the line used to go. It used to go under the A61, then, a short stretch of wood, then a clearing, then back to woods. There are also some abutments along here. That is what has got me baffled. ---...

    Westwood rail station, sheffield.

    Seen this thanks. This station, seems to have totally disappeared. There are some pics in the "rails through Barnsley" book. It's the exact location I wanted really.

    Westwood rail station, sheffield.

    Does anyone know the exact location of this station? Better even, would be some photo`s. I have searched this area, but, there has been so much land disturbance. it`s hard to get a fix.
