 Taken from the back of the signal box looking towards the works, this image shows the train assembly yards for Skinningrove Works. I can’t make up my mind whether it’s a guard’s van or a small shunter on the rightmost rake of wagons. Image courtesy of Russ Pigott.  A late afternoon shot by the look of it, enough haze to fool the exposure meter, but definitely a pair of 37s, both in different BR liveries – the front one sporting the frog-eye head code boxes.  A pair of “Large Arrow” liveried Class 37s running light engine at Boulby. Image courtesy of Russ Pigott.  I do like this image Russ – captures the ruggedness of the location perfectly with that haze/fog/mist shrouding Boulby Potash right up to the middle ground of the image. Image courtesy of Russ Pigott.  The Class 37, like the 25 and the 20, is the unsung hero of the diesel era. A scaled down Class 40 it has pulled everything under the sun, single, double and triple-headed!  There is something about black and white and railway images, they just seem to go well together. Here, a Class 37 and a train of empties head across the new bridge at Carlin How en-route to Boulby for loading.  Possibly the same pair as the other post, just rolling with the loaded train.  Slightly contre-jour (backlight), a photograph of a couple of Class 20s in the classic nose-to-nose configuration, leaving the loading yard at Boulby Potash, bound for Saltburn Junction.

I told Russ that my favourite diesels were Class 20s, Class 25s and Class 37s – there follows a whole series of lovely images – from that privileged track-side position.  A Class 37 Diesel locomotive, number 37515, passes through Carlin How with a trainload of Potash from Boulby. Notice the panel over the aperture left from the removal of the nose doors. |
