2E57 Leeds Central - Doncaster approaching Gelderd Road Junction from Wortley South Junction. The train has just passed over A58 Whitehall Road. The reason for the unused overbridge span on the right is a mystery as there is no evidence of there ever being four tracks at this location.br/ br/ While researching the images of Gelderd Road Junction, Leeds, Vic Smith wondered why the trains were not using the junction chord line onto the former LNWR line over Holbeck Viaduct. On a couple of the images, 1703-264, 1703-263, the chord line is not visible, suggesting they were taken during construction. The junction opened on 1 May 1967, when all trains used City Station after the closure of Central Station on 29 April 1967.There was no service into Central on Sundays. Leeds Central closed 1967-04-29. This leads me to believe that the photos of Gelderd Road Junction, Leeds were taken before the Junction officially opened on 1967-05-01, hence all the trains using the old route. 1703-215 amp; 1703-221 shows a crowd of photographers ndash; could this be the last day of operation?br/ br/ Indeed it has now been confirmed that D172 working last 2E57 Leeds Central - Doncaster and the stock matches another photo.
