Tinsley engine shed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tinsley Motive Power Depot (TMD) was built as part of the Sheffield district rail rationalisation plan of the 1960s opening during 1965 and situated adjacent to the new marshalling yard alongside the Sheffield District Railway in Tinsley, near Sheffield but accessed, by road, from Brinsworth, near Rotherham.
Diesel locomotives had been stationed at the old steam shed at Grimesthorpe until the new facilities were completed and the locomotives were moved to their new home. The site also included a small electric locomotive servicing shed at the south end of the Secondary Yard, replacing the facilities at Darnall.
