Hi
I was wondering if there was anyone who knows what type of steam trains ran down to halifax in the 1950s and if you do then that would be greatly appreciated.

This site can be useful I've found, nearby sheds give you a flavour.

Basically, before dieselisation in 1962, the Liverpool-Manchester- Halifax- Bradford Exchange- Leeds Central services were mainly portion-worked, with division and joining at Low Moor.
They were roughly hourly in each direction, with some gaps. The main train[Liverpool-Manchester-Bradford] was usually powered by a black 5, or sometimes even a Jubilee, while the Low-Moor-Leeds portion and vv.was usually hauled by a tank engine.

There were also occasional local services from Bradford-Huddersfield- Penistone- Clayton West, usually 3 non-corridor coaches and Low Moor tank. These were dieselised in 1957.
