An interesting view of 47349 in 1985 framed by the HM snowploughs. Just above the loco's roof you can see the
TOPS office. To the left, the cabin with the two small windows is the 'yard office' and dealt with all the operations
in HM yard, plus Horbury sidings and Procor wagon works at Horbury Junction. The cabin with the larger
windows is HM locations office which, as the name suggests dealt with all the other places within its responsibility
area. The official name for the locations office was Wakefield Kirkgate!
