Class 8F 2-8-0 48192 passes Newstead Colliery Signal box on the GN line with a train of empties. 23 November 1966.
This superb photo was taken by Tom Boustead and is used here with his kind permission.
Tom has told me a bit of interesting (but rather sad) associated information - " It might also interest you to know that the Annesley MPD coaling plant was collapsed on the same day, about 12.10pm by Thos. Ward & Sons, Sheffield. I was warned to stay well clear because of the flying concrete splinters when the gelignite exploded."
