If I understand your post, you want to know the duties of locos from the depot at Frodingham?

Firstly, it's allocation was around 6 class 08 shunters. No mainline diesels.

But it was a signing on point for the main line, and did servicing, fuelling and stabling for main line locos.

It saw many from Immingham, Tinsley and Holbeck, with occasional visitors from further away, even Canton occasionally.

Duties ranged from the shuttle from Immingham docks to the steel works for both iron ore and coal, coal for export, and finished steel from the works. Invthe 70's it had two duties for a single class 20, one at the CCW tip at Barnftby, one at the bottom of GunHouse bank for banking.

 

If you search for my photo thread on here there are many photos taken at Frodingham, from early 70's to closure.

Locos seen came from classes 20, 24, 25, 31, 37, 40, 45, 46, 47, 56, 60.

Once a 26 visited on its way to a show at Spalding. 

I visited at least weekly.
