Crowle & Barnetby - 27th/28th April 2017

Barnetby was once the mecca for railway photographers, its classic semaphores untouched since the days of steam and large quantities of freight made it the ideal location to record the buys UK freight scenes alongside the classic design of signals. While the signal boxes still stand they no longer operate the modern signals and the gantries are long since removed. However the freight and passenger scenes are still buoyant and colourful, and although coal imports have declined the new flows of Biomass from the Port of Immingham to Drax are very much in their infancy.
I took a very brief visit to the area on the 27th and 28th of April and manged a couple of hours photography. On the 27th I visited Crowle (which is located to the west of Scunthorpe) alongside the Stainforth & Keadby Canal, before making time for a couple of hours at Barnetby on the 28th April.
