Left: A Class 110 at Huddersfield. Tom Clift. Malcolm Clements adds: "The 110 is leaving Huddersfield for Leeds, or possibly Wakefield. The chimney is the Huddersfield waste incinerator. There were 4 running tracks on the viaduct plus the shunting line connecting the station yard to the much larger goods yard at Hillhouse (the site of the former steam shed) - at the other end of the viaduct. That yard was "famous" (to those who cared) as the coal drops had (and still have!) tramway track beneath them laid to Huddersfield's almost unique 4 feet 7 and 3/4 inches. The Corporation tramways had 2 electric coal wagons which took coal over the municipal tramway system to Mills on the other side of town. The gauge was set 3/4" less than standard so that regular railway wagons could run on their flanges in the groove of the tramway track. This never happened (as it did in Glasgow - where shipyards were connected over the street system) but the coal wagons ran for many years. There is a photo in Roy Brookes book - A history of Huddersfield Tramways. I believe Portsmouth also shared the same gauge, but know nothing of their system. I have photos of the tram track in the goods yard, taken c1969. |
