Hi the Brakenhill Light Railway ran from the Junction on the Swinton & Knottingley Line through Ackworth to Hemsworth Colliery. Only a small part of it remains as a cycle track walk called the tom dando way. I was hopping other members on here could help and may have pictures of when the line was in operation.
