Class 56s stabled outside Knottingley depot on 31st July 1992. The locos were 56094, 56108, 56086 and 56107.
1992 was the last summer in which a large number of coal trains ran between British deep mines and power stations. In October 1992, the industry minister Michael Heseltine announced the immediate closure of 31 collieries out of the 50 or so which were still open. Despite a big political row, most of the pits closed within 12 months and depots such as Knottingley saw their traffic levels collapse.

The loco had been withdrawn from service in 1969, and converted, and was then finally scrapped in April 1985.
One member of the class - D8233 - has survived, and is currently being restored, at the East Lancashire Railway.

57 year old British Rail Class 57 Co-Co diesel locomotive 57305 heads the Rail Operations Group 09:19 (12:14 74L) Clacton CSD- Gascoigne Wood Sidings (Selby, North Yorkshire) one off ECS movement at Stratford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in East London (UK).
In tow are 33 year old redundant former Greater Anglia Class 321 4 car EMU's 321431 and 445 heading off for storage and most likely scrapping.
Note the 'dellner coupling' contraption covered up in the yellow pane recess on the cab of the locomotive. This coupling was used during 57305's duties as a Direct Rail Services Thunderbird recovery locomotive in order to couple to and/or rescue other dellner equipped broken down trains.
57305 first entered service as Brush type 4 D1758 on May 23rd 1964.
57305 was numbered 47164 in the 1970s, based at Stratford and was a regular on the GEML.
In 1977 it was one of two Stratford Class 47 loco's that received a Union Flag on the side to commemorate the Queen's silver jubilee. I can vividly remember seeing 47164 along with 47163 at Chelmsford station on London- Norwich Inter City services around this time just as I became interested in railways.

Heaton Lodge Junction, Mirfield
Having just passed Class 37 37100 on a tanker train, Class 45 45104The Royal Warwickshire Fusilier takes the Huddersfield line at Heaton Lodge Junction, Mirfield.
Originally D59, this is an engine I saw many times over the years - at York, Toton, Mirfield, Holbeck, Raventhorpe and once at Elland, nr Halifax. Withdrawn April 1988.
This section is now single track for east-bound only. Today (2018) the Class 45 would have gone straight ahead (where the Class 37 is located) and branched left to Huddersfield soon after. This avoided trains having to cross the east-bound Calder Valley mainline
