Westbound train, Mytholmroyd

A westbound train, headed by an Aspinall 4-4-2, departing from Mytholmroyd Station pre-First World War. It is running on the ‘slow’ lines which would have been unusual for an express train, possibly due to the ‘fast’ line being recently re-ballasted. The track was quadrupled over this section around 1906 but has now reverted to double track. The ‘up’ platform and signal box visible to the left of the engine with the unusual storeyed station building opposite.
