Catching some sunlight, GBRF 60095 works 6E10 Liverpool Biomass Tml Gbf to Drax Aes. This train has around 25 loaded wagons with Biomass for Drax Power Station (about 2500 tons).
This loco was the first of the 10 Class 60's that GBRF got from Colas to be painted up into GBRF livery and it was the first time I have seen it so it was a welcome sight. Most of the other 60's still remain in Colas colours.
Freight over the Pennines takes the line via Todmorden and Brighouse rather than the shorter line via Huddersfield due to the high number of passenger trains which traverse the Manchester - Huddersfield - Leeds line. The only section of line where these freight cross over the buisier line is at Mirfield, often meaning freight gets held to wait for a path through the busy 3 track section. The train in the photo was nearly at a standstill at the time of taking the photo.

Little note about the powerful sky in the background - some areas of West Yorkshire saw extreme amounts of hail fall causing some areas to look as if snow had fallen. - https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/n...-storm/

Thank you!
I think to the left it's water treatment of some sort but I am not 100%. On the right it is a Bed sheet making factory as well as some sort of coal storage.

What "Junction" means in the BR? Is it single switch point on the railway line?

"Junction" это "пост" по-русски. Место разветвления линий.

I think it's been good explained above but I'd best describe it as where 2 or more tracks join or 2 or more tracks split. Most junctions in the UK have names regarding usually to the area they are in. These will show up in the train schedule usually.

Цитата (Дурдом, 28.09.2020):

Thank you, Cap!
I wrote the Junction means single switch point on the railway line in Russia usually. It is the contrast with the station, which has a track development.(Sorry for my bad English.)
