Class 66122 in Westwood Yard on the 17th of May 2010 Westwood Yard is the the main freight yard at Peterborough. Most of its freight now is going some were from somewere else. The freight stop at Peterborough for meal breaks and crew changes and for timetable resons (keeping freight out the way of at peak times) In the 1970's and early 1980's there was still some mixed freight and parcels to be sorted at Westwood Yard. There were about 112 sidings for about 6000 wagons with over 26000 wagons a week be for the 2nd World War sorted in the goods yards in Peterborough. Only a small part of this once very large yard remained into the late 1970's. There is even more gone today with some stock stored out of use. Westwood Yard even in the late 1970s still had a small hump to sort out wagons.

This website is Ukrailways1970tilltoday.me.uk it is on railways, but it is not just on trains, but all things railways, with photos, which I have taken from the 1970s till now. I take photos of all things railways, steam diesel and electric trains, signal boxes, wagons any thing that is on the National Rail network, which was BR when I started taken photos.
Today EWS, East Coast, Central trains and EWS are just some of the names on the trains. The name on the train does not mean, thats whos train it is these days. These names keep changing, but that means I have to keep taking photos. I also take photos of preserved railways with steam diesel and electric trains.There is lots more to add and I keep taking More!
