Description: | The accident took place almost exactly in line with No. 1 Midland Terrace.
The locomotive(s) involved (there appears to be a second one on its side and nose-to-nose with the loco remaining upright, numbered D8189) was known as an 'English Electric Type 1'. Members of this short-lived and not very powerful class were often to be seen in pairs (known as 'double heading') on coal trains in this area. The locomotive's diesel-electric engine made a distinctive whirring sound. Most coal traffic was carried in the 16 ton capacity mineral-waggons. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | North East Midland Photographic Record | Subjects: | select Please | Source: | Picture the Past OAI feed | Creator: | Shaw, N | Identifier: | http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/fronten... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | Go to resource |
