Queenborough Wharf
Former British Army of the Rhine Andrew Barclay 310hp 0-6-0 diesel-hydraulic '871' (Works No.510 built in 1966) waits as its bogie flat wagons are loaded with imported steel shipped from Ukraine, being transferred from the hold of the River Blyth ship and for eventual use at the Queenborough Rolling Mill on the Isle of Sheppey on 25th May 2001. The locomotive was busy throughout the day transferring the steel to the mill along the one-mile line alongside the River Swale, connecting the mill with the wharf.
