RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 11, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2021 Well, I’ve done some research into that crossing, which was known as Waterworks, and according to David Heys website, it was removed in 1974. Here’s the link to the page about York on that site, and you need to scroll about two thirds of the way down it. https://davidheyscollection.com/pages/david-heys-steam-diesel-photo-collection-06-railway-centre-york I hope this is of some help regarding that crossing. Best regards, Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Great photos, Dave. Thanks for sharing. Hard to believe it is almost 10 years since GBRf surprised us by hiring a Deltic to work the North Blyth - Lynemouth alumina tanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Blyth and Tyne photo’s from Winning, Cambois and North Blyth. All are very interesting, and nostalgic. The first photo’ of Winning, with 56112, on an up light engine movement, in March, 1990, is a very well captured shot of the 56. In C7209, at Cambois, with 08886, on the 29th September, 1985, you have captured a superb view of the 08 complete with a BR standard 20 ton brake van. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 15, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2021 Today we have some more photos from the Newcastle to Carlisle line, along with one of the first viaduct on the branch from Haltwhistle to Alston which crosses the River Tyne at Haltwhistle.

Fat Controller Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 J9291 is an empty limestone train from Redcar to Shap; this replaced the long-established service from Redmire.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the Newcastle to Carlisle photo’s which are all of interest and very nostalgic. In C19889, to the East of Haltwhistle, with a class 142 on a Newcastle to Carlisle service, on the 3rd December, 1994, you have captured a most excellent example of a ‘train in the landscape’. The last photo’, at Haltwhistle, with the Alston branch viaduct over the River Tyne, on the 29th March, 1994, shows what a nicely designed structure it was which fitted into the surrounding countryside so perfectly.

Must be an additional topping up redmire limestone as redmire was still running then but this working can't have been too long as its only got a single 37. Redmire at this time was pairs of 20s 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last photo’ is a most impressive shot of 37716 and 37684 on a train of down empty HAA’s, on the 31st May, 1995. Many things certainly have changed, but some remain the same ! 156434 is still, after 30 years based at Corkerhill, working services between Carlisle and Glasgow via Dumfries, among other routes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All are of interest, and in C13957, with 43101, leading an up HST on the 3rd February, 1990, you can see how out of sorts the front end looks with the cover for the emergency coupling in white instead of in warning yellow.

The vehicle only made it to the test stage in the USA; The Flatrols found gainful employment as ingot-mould carriers, weight-distribution wagons for transformers and other, varied, tasks. The ingot-mould carriers lasted into the mid-1970s. 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
