Elland Power Station
Elland Power Station was a coal-fired power station situated adjacent to the Manchester to Wakefield railway line and on a loop of the River Calder, north east of the town of Elland in West Yorkshire.It was designed and built by the then Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB), Northern Project Group.[5][6] Coal from the Yorkshire coalfields was delivered by train on the adjacent Calder Valley Line and moved around the site using 0-4-0 shunters.1, a CEGB 0-4-0 diesel shunter is preserved at Mangapps Railway Museum, Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex.[1] After the UK's electric supply industry was privatised in 1989, the station was operated by PowerGen.
