SE1030 : North portal of Queensbury railway tunnel
taken 10 years ago, near to Queensbury, Bradford, England
North portal of Queensbury railway tunnel
Queensbury was a triangular junction station with lines to Bradford, Keighley and Halifax (including a branch to St Paul's high level station). This is a view of the portal of the tunnel on the Halifax line, sixty years since the station closed in 1955 (although tracks were not lifted until 1966). See SE1030 : Queensbury tunnel air shaft collapse for a photo by someone else inside the tunnel, and Link
has much more detail on the history of the station.
The track approaching the tunnel had evidence of recent vehicle movements, and the tunnel portal itself is less overgrown than ten years earlier SE1030 : Railway tunnel, Queensbury, suggesting that someone is using it for storage or other purposes.
The station was a long way below Queensbury village and more convenient for railway operations than for passengers.
