9017 reverses towards the shed past the two shunt signals at the southern end of the platforms. The shunt signal for Platform 1 is mounted on a post that would have been occupied by a southbound Starting signal if the line was open to the south. It is Off to allow the move towards the shed. 02.06.2007

The engine shed at Sheffield Park, with, in the foreground, the dock at the end of Platform 1. This is most frequently used for the Pullmans, but is also utilized to display locomotives and for footplate visits during special events. 02.06.2007. Details of locomotives stored in the running shed are in a separate collection at http://train.fotopic.net/sheffieldparkshedPrevious | NextIn addition to the main engine shed a small open ended shed survives from the early years of the Bluebell Railway. Although empty when pictured on 25.02.2007 it is often used by the Terriers. In the distance you can see buffer stops at the end of the line. The road bridge beyond the buffers was removed after the line closed. For photographs of the disused line south of Sheffield Park see the main Index or go to http://train.fotopic.net/culverjunction
