Steam Heritage passes Industrial Heritage (2008)

Preserved K1 Class, 62005, rounds the bend at Huntcliff, passing the remains of the old Guibal Fanhouse on a Trainspotter’s Special on the 10th May 2008

Class 20s Crossing New Bridge

A pair of Class 20s, led by 20070, cross the new bridge at Carlin How with a train of loaded Potash Hoppers. Both locos are equipped with multiple working connections, the second man being the guard. Both locos in ”Small Arrow” livery, and it looks like the Thornaby Kingfisher on the side (thanks for the verification Russ – rodders).

Class 37s at Huntcliffe (1986)

A late afternoon shot by the look of it, enough haze to fool the exposure meter, but definitely a pair of 37s, both in different BR liveries – the front one sporting the frog-eye headcode boxes.

Class 37s Boulby (1986)

A pair of “Large Arrow” liveried Class 37s running light engine at Boulby.

Class 47 at Crag Hall

I seem to remember these weren’t well liked due to a lack of sanders and brakes like a milk float! Notice the steps for the signalman to give and receive block tokens for the single line working. Also the local semaphore set off to give him right of way. A nice gritty black and white image.
(I notice the last set of semaphores on the Brotton side of Crag Hall have recently been replaced with light signals.)

Class 47 Leaving Boulby (Early 80s)

I do like this image Russ – captures the ruggedness of the location perfectly with that haze/fog/mist shrouding Boulby Potash right up to the middle ground of the image.

Class 56 at South Bank (1987)

The well-known gas holder on the right being passed by a late-liveried Class 56 – a vast improvement on the Class 47 – notice the multiple-working connections and lead on the front panel – one driver could drive all the locomotives in a multiple engine set.

Class 101 DMU approaches Redcar (early 1980s)

I hated these smelly, noisy, uncomfortable, drafty things – it made the bus worthwhile and a car inevitable. I notice that this is before Redcar Central Station became a business park and the railway became single track.

Class 101 DMU Saltburn (early 1980s)

This, I think, is when the Zetland Hotel was still a hotel and the lovely Victorian facade of the station, including the canopy was intact. Before expediency destroyed the excursion platform with its beautiful Victorian cupolas and when the station building was still a station building instead of a shopping arcade.

Class 37, 37514, rounds Huntcliff (1986)

This time with a load of sections from Skinningrove, there’s novel! Full yellow ends and large logo. Never named, but renumbered!
