25151 Toton

Scanned from a poor quality print sorry. Here we see 25151 parked at Toton with extensive accident damage. 25151 was working the 8E08 Oakleigh to Barnby Dunware Rockware Glass Works freight train, when it lost control on a down gradient at Slaithwaite near Huddersfield on the 03.09.1982. The signalman at Hillhouse managed to divert the train into Hillhouse Sidings were the crew jumped clear and the train collided with a ferry van. It was moved to Toton in 1983 and used for re-railing exercises often been tipped onto its side. It was eventually cut up at Vic Berry's in December 1987. Taken on the 04.08.1984
