Title
Ripponden Station. - LYR00107
Description
LYRS 2581 - Railmotor Hughes 0-4-0RM at Ripponden Station looking towards Rishworth. Railmotors, short tank engines with a carriage attached, were introduced on the Rishworth Branch in 1907 in response to competition from electric trams. As a result of further competition from motor buses the Branch closed to passengers in 1929 and fully in 1958. The original intention had been to extend on under Blackstone Edge to re-join the main line near Smithy Bridge but this was abandoned.
