View eastwards of a train of empties (ie empty wagons) double-headed by Class 20 diesels (formerly known as the English Electric Type 1). The vehicles forming the train were known as hopper-waggons.

The scene shown is probably the site of the former Darnall tunnel (image s15021) demolished decades before this photograph was taken.
