WORK to electrify a five-mile section of line between Colton Junction and Church Fenton is underway.
OLE mast piling work has been taking place during January and February, and the first mast was installed at Colton Junction on February 17. New signalling equipment and associated troughing is also being installed, through Ulleskelf, Bolton Percy and on to Church Fenton.
The work is the first stage of the £600 million Transpennine upgrade on the route between York and Manchester.
DB Cargo No. 66020 passes the first masts installed at Colton Junction, York, on the line towards Church Fenton.
