Is the first photo really 2000?

Was it some sort of preservation photo opportunity?

 

It was a dockside photo charters that were in vogue in the early 2000s  before port security was increased in the UK.

 

IIRC the same group organsed and event at Goole using the Pug based on the Worth Valley.

I thought petrol tanks were the silver one’s that needed barrier wagons, the black carried the less volatile products like tar/bitumen and without need for barrier wagons. Can someone please confirm?

 

 

That is correct, the cars in the photo are actually of the black variety, guess you can class the contents "Petroleum Products" as opposed to petrol.

[JeffP]

The Pug at Goole I do remember, and have seen pics.

Yes, the shipping equivalent of the aviation industry's increased security, the ISPS Code, came in at the end of 2001, shortly after the 9/11 atrocities.

Couldnt remember the initials of the code I was thinking about when I posted earlier.

 

I and a few others had permits for all the Humber Ports at the time, IIRC we got a years grace then they were withdrawn.

He did say 'petroleum' not petrol - pedantic bit there but is a difference because 'petroleum' covers a range of UN numbers, Hazchem codes, and flash points.   Those actually look like Class B cars so might be ok .

 

The Regulations regarding barrier wagons changed quite alot over the years so you need a date for any particular set of Regulations and instructions and i don;t have time now to go through it all over a long period if years sorry (dinner is calling!!!)

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening se have three photo’s by knoxrj, on Flickr, and one by Richard Stewart, on Flickr.

 

The first one shows class A5, 69811, at South Howden, taking water, in c1955.

 

 

Next we have a photo’ of class D11, 5501, Mons, at Park Street, sometime in the 1950’s.

 

 

The third photo’ is of class B4, 1482, Immingham, seen entering Driffield, from the Market Weighton line, with the 09.38 Bradford to Bridlington extra train, just after WWll. Note the green livery.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ which takes us up to date. 37419 "Driver Tony Kay" powers up off the 25mph speed restriction at Beverley on train, 3J51, the York Thrall to York Thrall via East Yorkshire RHTT, with 37422 on the rear, on the 27th October, 2023.

Those are lagged tanks so will be used for products which require to be kept warmish. Coming from Salted they could be Gas Oil, Methanol,  Isopropanol or Isopropyl Acetate.

The third photo’ is of LNER B1 class, built by the North British Locomotive co entering service numbered 1071 August 1946. Renumbered 61071 April 1948 and withdrawn February 1963. It appears to be on an excursion train.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of, and this is from the caption as detailed by John Turner, ‘British Railways Motive Power York Steam Breakdown Crane DE331151 at Sculcoates, Hull, in c July, 1964.

 

Built by Cowans Sheldon in 1916 for the NER, 35ton capacity. Although written for York, where it had been from 1932 it had moved to Hull in March 1963 and condemned November 1967. The Match Wagon appears to be the original, a conversion of a well wagon built in 1899 and originally numbered 9024’.

Gas Oil possibly but Methanol, Isopropyl Acetate and Isopropanol do not need to be kept warm.  Indeed due to their flammability it is preferable to keep them at ambient temperature.  Or perhaps lagged tanks were used to keep cold material below ambient temperatures.

Those items were conveyed at one time in those tanks. Some other odd items were conveyed from Saltend in lagged tanks, even the 'vinegar ' tanks had lagging on them, remember rerriveting some of the panels back on them when an apprentice as well as other jobs on those tanks

[Market65]

This is Y1 No 100, 106 or 108 (the third digit being obscured by the buffer), a Sentinel steam shunter rather than an electric engine.

This photo appears in volume 3 of Brian Stephenson's 'LNER Album', credited to T E Rounthwaite.  The date is given as February 10 1934, the engine being in store shortly before being withdrawn.

An interesting photo; the first 10 B1s were initially numbered 8301-10, being renumbered 1000-9 in 1946, and photographs of them with their original number are few and far between.

 

According to 'Yeadon's Register' vol 6, No 8310 entered traffic in June 1944 and became No 1009 in March 1946.  However, it was transferred from Neville Hill to Parkeston in January 1945, after which it was a deal less likely to have been seen in Hull, I should have thought.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Darryl Tooley, for the information about class B1, Hartebeeste. 

 

Now, this evening, we have four photo’s, with two courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr, and one by Andy Hughes, on Flickr, and one by John Turner, also on Flickr.

 

The first photo’ shows Darlington built (1947), Thompson LNER B1, 4-6-0, 61032 "Stembok" (50B), at Brough with a Hull bound Class A passenger trains, in circa January, 1965.

 

 

The next photo’ is of the well recorded railtour train, with class D49/1, 62731, Selkirkshire, on the approach to Sledmere, on the 23rd June, 1957.

Now, is that signal properly off or on - this photo’ has puzzled me for some time. I suspect it is off…

 

 

The third photo’ shows a view of that other railtour train, which have seen in other photo’s. It is class J25, 65714, on the DVLR at Thorganby station, in the 1950’s.

 

 

Finally, we have a photo’ of 37401 `Mary Queen of Scots' working train,  3J51, the 09:50 York Thrall Europa - York Thrall Europa, as it opens up on the approach Beverley Parks crossing, on the 16th October, 2023.

Could it just be that the photographer clicked the camera shutter whilst the signal was still being pulled to the full off position?
