Great Northern Railway leaving Keighley

This was where the GREAT NORTHERN line 
parted company with the MIDLAND Worth Valley 
line to approach its own station of Ingrow East


It was quite a slog for the northern men as the pull
up out of the goods yard was even steeper than the 
pull up from Keighley station which the passenger
trains took. Joint running powers allowed this from
 the shared platforms at Keighley. The goods yard 
was of course separate and trains parted company
with the joint midland line just before Park Wood
 Tunnel to run down and under the midland line just
after the Globe pub on Park Rd. The remains of the
cutting can still be seen there.
