58024 passes Hall Lane Jnct and heads towards Barrow Hill with a 'merry go round' coal train from Oxcroft Opencast Disposal Point on 19/11/1992. The lines are now closed and track lifted.
58018 'High Marnham Power Station' heads up the branch from Oxcroft Opencast Disposal Point towards Oxcroft Colliery Branch Jnct on 19/11/1992 with a train of HAA 'merry go round' coal hoppers for Cottam Power Station. Oxcroft closed in 2006, along with the disappearance of mines in Derbyshire. It was briefly reopened by UK Coal when they started a coal recovery operation in 2007 to sift through nearby pit tips and recover around 14000 tonnes of coal. It closed again shortly after and is now flattened and all track lifted.
58036 traverses the ex Midland Railway Clowne Branch approaching Oxcroft Colliery Branch Junction whilst running light loco from Shirebrook TMD to Barrow Hill TMD on 19/11/1992. By this time light locomotives were pretty much the only through traffic on this section of line from Cresswell Jnct to Seymour Jnct. In the mid 1990's a serious underground fire that proved difficult to control threatened to undermine the line. This, coupled with the expensive requirement to replace the points connecting the branch at Creswell Jnct would lead to the closure of the line. The points at Cresswell Jnct were relaced with plain line, as were those at Oxcroft Colliery Junction. With track now lifted the trackbed has become the Clowne Branch Greenway, a traffic free cycling and walking route.
