This system was the result of early efforts to make the River Don navigable between Fishlake (now on the Stainforth and Keadby Canal) and Sheffield. It lost its separate identity in 1895, when it became part of the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation.
An early electrification scheme on British railways. The route featured long ascents on both sides of the Pennines with the long Woodhead Tunnel at its central summit close to the Woodhead pass. This also led to the route being called the Woodhead Line.
The tunnels are three trans-Pennine railway tunnels which formerly carried a major rail link from Manchester to Sheffield. The western portals are at Woodhead in Derbyshire and the eastern portals are at Dunford Bridge, near Penistone.
