            Langley, Erewash Valley line on 15th August 1991. Trainload Coal 58020 heads south with a loaded MGR.
The substantial earth works visible in the distance above the loco was the Godkin opencast site, which was next to where Ormonde colliery was. The work also involved filling the hole back up with material from the colliery spoil tip, and landscaping to finish.
Empties for the mine were placed in two sidings that ran behind the MGR train, and under the old footbridge, though you would struggle to even see the track bed now.
