158845 Creykes Crossing 20 April 2019

158845 catches the last rays of the setting sun, as it approaches Creykes Crossing on 20 April 2019 with the 1J53 17:35 Bridlington to Sheffield Northern service. This location, between Goole and Thorne, is situated at the end of long narrow road that now just serves the farm on the other side of the railway. However, formerly there was a siding here to connect with an extensive narrow gauge peat railway system, that stretched out onto Rawcliffe and Goole Moors. There was also a peat works situated behind the trees in this view, as well as, according to the 1906 Ordnance Survey 25 inch map, a firelighter and disinfectant works!
