"Nodding Donkey" Class 142 DMU no. 142096 is arriving at Penistone with the 09.37 Sheffield to Huddersfield service. The station, opened in 1845, has been nicely kept. In the background is Penistone Huddersfeild Junction Signal Box. This 'box was built by the Great Central Railway and I believe has been demolished in recent years. 142096 was the last of the fleet to be built, and has been scrapped too!
