Photo's Of East Yorkshire Railways

[Market65]

Good afternoon, everyone, and, thank you, Mick, for posting those photo’s and diagrams of Pocklington. I was only looking for some myself late last night. The photo’ of B1, 61199, departing on a Hull bound service is particularly good, and conveys how things were towards the end. 
 

Well, it’s a hard act to follow, but, thanks to John Turner, and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we see K3, 61892, as it runs light engine, along Selby Street, on its way from Dairycoates shed to Hull Paragon station, on the 20th February, 1960.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good late afternoon, everyone. This afternoon, thanks to John Turner, and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we have two photo’s of an unusual train, which is not able to be identified, unless someone on here can identify it. It has a V3, 67638, in charge, and has a Pullman car, two Gresley teak bodied carriages, a BR Mkl carriage, and some that is not indentifiable. The date is c1959, at Brough.

 

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Mick, for the photo’ and diagram, of Alexandra Dock. As you say, that’s a great challenge for someone to replicate all that pointwork. 
 

Now, this evening, with thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, Austerity, 90057, of 50B,  has just passed Brough's outer distant signals, whilst in charge of a long Hull bound train of loaded mineral wagons, in c1964.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Beverley Cherry Tree, early '80's.

[Market65]

Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for that evocative photo’ of Beverley Cherry Tree. I remember it well from those now far away times, and watching 20’s and 37’s shunting the yard too.

 

Well, this evening, we go to Brough, with thanks again to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, and see a K1, and according to the caption, possibly York shed's 62009, approaching Brough from the Hull direction, in charge of an up breakdown train, in c1959. No other details are available.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Rob, here is a Type 3 at Cherry Tree, 1980.

[Market65]

Thank you, Mick. That brings plenty of memories back.

Those Distant signals are unusual, they could be worked from either Brough West or Brough East signalboxes. Mick.

 

 

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. That’s fascinating, Mick. I’m just wondering how that was possible with those two boxes able to work those distants. It’s something I’ve not come across before. Have you anymore information?

 

Well, this evening, with thanks once more, to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we are at the west end of Brough station, from the Saltgrounds Road overbridge with a B1 working  an up class A train, in c1959. Apparently the B1 is maybe 61093. The formation is a Conflat with a white insulated container, followed by a couple of Blue Spot fish vans, with the first carriage being a teak bodied Gresley, four compartment, BSK.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Rob, somewhere I'm sure I have the "Special Instructions", East worked them as Outer Distants when West was closed..

Hadn't noticed on first viewing, but the platform lighting is a bit unusual in that the power for the electric lights is fed from open wires on insulating pots on top of the lamp posts. A detail no doubt that would be overlooked on a model of that period. 

[Market65]

Good afternoon, everyone. This afternoon, again thanks to John Turner, and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we are at Brough. We see Thompson Class 01, 2-8-0, 63663, of 41H Staveley shed, as it heads a westbound 'class H' freight along the 'up slow', in 1959.

The caption adds that this appears to be just a short train of oil tanks and barrier vehicles, but closer examination of the original scan shows a significant number of other mixed wagons beyond the tanks.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Thanks, once again, to John Turner, and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we are in Brough, and seeing, in a rather grainy, but historical shot, of V3, 2-6-2T, 67686, making a spirited start from Brough with a train for Hull, in c1959. It is most probably the 5.15 p.m., and the headlamps show class 1, so the express, not the stopper. Note that the first carriage is a Thompson non corridor BS.
 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good afternoon, everyone. This afternoon, thanks to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, of newly overhauled Peppercorn, A1, 4-6-2, 60145, 'Saint Mungo', in store at Dairycoates, in April, 1964. This locomotive was later returned to traffic and survived to be the last A1 in service.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good afternoon, everyone. This afternoon, courtesy of John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we see WD, Austerity, 90427, as it runs light engine towards Dairycoates MPD, near Hessle Road, on the 20th February, 1960.

 

Best regards,

 The signal is a typical LNER/NE Region "El Cheapo" job, note how the additiona left hand doll as been grafted on etc. From memory, this work was caried our during 1952.

Dairycoates was another complex junction

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. We are back from this site’s update, so with thanks to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we see Dairycoates allocated B1, 61065, as it heads an up Class H express freight, with a head of Earles Cement Presflo wagons,  through Brough, in about January, 1964.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

I have often wondered what  the purpose of SPUR 1&2 was, as it just looks like an expensive short stub leading to nowhere?

Headshunt for the sidings?

[Market65]

Good afternoon, everyone. This afternoon, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we are at Dairycoates East watching WD, 90462, in about 1964. 

 

 

Best regards,

It does seem quite ostentatious for a head shunt, as it's an embankment that bridges the main entrance to ALEX DOCK.  Maybe there was a plan to extend to railway to link up with Victoria dock; just a thought.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have a photo’ by John Turner, on Flickr, of Gresley, LNER, 61ft 6in Driver Training / Route Learning Saloon, DE320765, lettered "Motive Power Dept. York, being propelled through Hessle station by an unidentifiable Thompson B1, in c1963.
 

Best regards,
