  • September to December 1989 have been updated in the Archives Section with many new NB workings added. If you would like to add any gen to these pages, please email it to rjrooker@hotmail.com
  • Colas Rail's 66841 was working 7Z98 this morning. The other more lightly loaded workings should remain with 47s for now.

    13/06/64: D1576 at Low Fell Junction in 1964 at a time when 47s were still in the early stages of production, note the original grill at the number one end (furthest from camera) rather than the opening vents that replaced them within a few years. This machine later became 47456, and was seen here on a Saturday hauling 1E14 1100 Glasgow-Kings Cross - the 'up' Queen of Scots Pullman.
