| | The Woodhead route across the Pennines is much lamented by enthusiasts and arguably should not have closed in 1981. Stated as the most modern means of rail transport when opened in 1954, its electrification was out of date just six years later. This video reminds us of the motive power used on this 1500V DC line, the EM1 Bo-Bo, EM2 Co-Co and Class 506 EMU's. Some early liveried diesels appear on the route and various steam power also, especially at Sheffield Victoria and Guide Bridge. Visitors to the now extinct Dinting Steam centre are included, and there was 'LION' on the mainline! Filmed mainly from 1964, most of the electrics are in their early liveries of blue and green with and without yellow warning panels. The entire route is seen, Manchester, Sheffield and Worsborough incline. The EM2's in Holland also appear with a triple header. The content is all archive film with an authentic soundtrack and informative commentary. No Contents Listing Published Continent: Europe
