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.

Cragg Hall 1972

14 years on and quite a few differences from the previous photo of Cragg Hall, judging by Russell Piggott’s comment below this may be later than we imagined, any more thoughts out there?

1. ‘The Boulby Flyer’

Sandra tells us that Brian took this photo of the train crossing the bridge below Carlin How, and the next photo, from their bedroom window on St. Hilda’s Terrace.

The train is ’The Boulby Flyer’ on the first excursion organised by Saltburn Railtours in August 1995. This trip took place in the Saltburn Victorian Week. (Thanks to their website for this information).

Thanks to Sandra Hutchinson for the photograph.

2. ‘The Boulby Flyer’

The train going over the viaduct towards Loftus, with Kilton shale tip in the background. The excursion was on the Boulby mineral line from Saltburn to Boulby Potash Mine and back.

Thanks to Sandra Hutchinson for the photograph.

Off the Road at Crag Hall (1993)

A Class 37 in Railfreight livery passes what looks like a Class 31 stranded on the roads at Crag Hall, by the lean on it it looks like a broken spring.
As Russ tells us ”The 31 is actually derailed. It came off on the points leading to the headshunt that are worked from the box. I was having my annual assessment at the time and so was the signalman. Also the train was an inspection saloon from York, Ive never seen so many gaffers in one spot! The cause was put down to poor maintainece of the point rodding and as the chief signalling engineer was in the saloon I reckon he would have got a lot of stick afterwards!” – which just goes to show what I know! – rodders

Off the Road at Crag Hall (1993)

Class 31, 31549, receives attention from the engineers at Crag Hall, notice the heavy lifting jack in use, broken spring or shattered axlebox?

Off the Road at Crag Hall 1993

Looks like they got it fixed – it’s now sat level on the 4 foot, running lights are on and the engineers are retiring to their carriage. (no doubt for tea and tiffin!).

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.
