Freight and a City

Sheffield is renewing itself, but until recently the city's railway network exemplified the confusion and inefficiency created by competitive railway expansion in Victorian times.Now British Railways has swept away the small depots and the conflicting lines, and has centralised its goods operations in a new freight terminal, a diesel maintenance depot, and on one of the most modern marshalling yards in Europe, providing freight services fit for Sheffield's needs.
