Photo's Of East Yorkshire Railways

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we go to Little Weighton in 1963. On the 23rd August, 1963, we have two photo’s of B1, 61010, Wildebeeste, shunting the yard. The engine was locally well known and allocated to Dairycoates at that time. Sadly it was not preserved.
 

 

Best regards,

The photos in these two albums include locos which worked in East Yorkshire. They may have been uploaded to this thread, in one form or another, earlier but will have been lost in the platform chaos.

 

Photos like this are so helpful. Hopefully you will forgive being slightly off topic, but I'm looking forward when existing projects are done a C7 will be started with help from etches from Michael Edge.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we go to Staddlethorpe Junction, now, of course, Gilberdyke. We see WD "Austerity", 2-8-0, 90462, and brake van, on the "up slow" at Staddlethorpe Junction, on the 18th January, 1964. 
 

 

And here’s a second photo’ by John Turner of Staddlethorpe Junction, on the same date, and another WD 2-8-0, 90132, on a class H freight train.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone, and thanks again to John Turner on Flickr, this evening we have a couple of photo’s of Hessle. The first one shows a Gresley V3, 2-6-2T, 67684, as it departs Hessle with the 5.15 p.m., from Brough to Hull, this being the one which called at Ferriby and Hessle, the second one ran non stop to Hull. The date is about 1963, and the carriages by then were BR Mkl’s.

 

This second photo’ is of a Thompson B16/3, 4-6-0, 61472, as it runs into Hessle station with a Hull bound class H freight train on the 11th April, 1964.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone, and sorry to be late but I’ve been having yet more internet issues today. So this evening, thanks to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we go to Brough in about April, 1960, according to the caption. We see an Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0, 46407, hauling what seems to be an ex NER inspection or directors saloon of four wheel design.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, . This evening, thanks again to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we go to Paragon station on the 20th February, 1960, to see B1, 61256 departing with the Hill portion of The Yorkshire Pullman.

 

And, with the same two credits, we see, in the next photo’, Ivatt 4MT, ‘Flying Pig’, 2-6-0, 43079,  working a westbound freight along a very wet & gloomy Selby Street, in Hull, again on the 20th February, 1960.

 

Best regards,

Re: Yorkshire Pullman

Should it refer to the 'Hull Portion' ?

How many vehicles would have been involved?

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, drmditch, I had a lapse on the keyboard, with Hull being the portion of the Yorkshire Pullman. It was a three car set of Pullman cars.

Now, this evening, with thanks again to John Turner, and Ian Fleming, on Flickr, we go to Cottingham, on the 19th August, 1973. We see class 40, 219, originally named Caronia, as it goes down the line to possibly Bridlington. It is postulated, in the caption, that the train may have originated from the North West of England, but no more information is available.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we go to Ryehill & Burstwick station, on the Hull to Withernsea branch, in about June, 1964. We see a two car Cravens, class 105, unit arriving on a service to Hull, with an old lady waiting to get on. 

 

 

And now for a view of the station, looking towards Hull, without a train, again by John Turner on Flickr, and the same date.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Why should the lady be regarded as old? So she is wearing a rather funny hat and a voluminous but probably warm coat, but it wasn't all Mary Quant and mini-skirts in the 60s you know.

I thought much the same myself.

[heavymetalwagons]

same as a above comments plus its east Yorkshire = 3 days of sun at best!!!

nice to see the flower box and a proper waiting room (not a bus shelter like now) and why did they do the fencing at an angle ? (another thing that seems to have vanished ) 

[drmditch]

Re: Diagonal Fencing

That design of fencing is one of the NER standards.

(NER Standard Drawing No.S69)

 

I think the Midland used a similar design.

Good evening, everyone, and regarding the lady, I well remember my grandmother wearing a coat and hat just like those, so, mistakenly, perhaps, was using grandma as my frame of reference. Apologies for getting it wrong.

Now, this evening, we go to Hessle, on the 25th July, 1963, again thanks to John Turner, on Flickr. We see two light engines coupled together, with Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0, 43078, and a filthy and unidentified WD, 2-8-0, on their way to Hull in some wet looking weather.

 

And, we now go to Ferriby, again thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, and see V3, 2-6-2T, 67684, approaching from Hull, on a service which is thought to be one of those to Brough. Note that carriages four and five look to be Thompson rather than the rest which are BR Mkl’s. The date given is the 24th June, 1963.

 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we have two photo’s. The first one is of a Gresley, V3, 2-6-2T, 67638, which has just taken water and will go back to shunting at Hull Paragon, on the 20th February, 1960.

 

The second photo’, with the same credits and date, is of a Gresley K3, 2-6-0, 61904, running light engine to Dairycoates MPD.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Interesting ballasting here. If you modelled it this way, everyone would wonder when it was going to be finished properly.

Did the H&B use ash ballast as the NER did?

[JeffP]

Looking at the V3 photo, the water column was away from the station.

What did the driver do in order to get signallers permission to go over there?

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for posting that excellent photo’ of H&BR class A, 0-8-0, in the North Cave area, c1910. Please post more when you can.

This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we go to Ferriby, sometime, according to the caption, in 1964, to witness an English-Electric, Type 3, Co-Co, D6777, heading west with the Hull portion of the up "Yorkshire Pullman". 
 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone, and a couple of photo’s with thanks to John Turner and Ian Fleming, on Flickr. The first photo’ is of a class 40, which is unidentified, on a down special at Cottingham, on the 22nd June, 1974. 
 

The second photo’, with the same credits, is of a class 31, 5659, at Hessle with the 09:50 Filey to Sheffield, on the 19th August, 1972. Work on the platform extension can be seen which eliminated the slow line in the foreground. The second carriage is still in maroon.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.
