Hull & Barnsley Railway Locomotives : Mathew Stirling : H&BR Class J 4-4-0 (LNER Class D24)

Although the Hull & Barnsley Railway (H&BR) was built primarily to carry coal, it also attempted to generate passenger traffic. In October 1905, this resulted in the Midland Railway granting the H&BR running powers between Cudworth and the Midland's Sheffield station
As well as the Hull (Cannon Street) to Sheffield (Midland) services for which they were designed, the D24s were also used for football excursions over other companies' lines. These football excursions often included services over the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway's Hensall spur to Leeds and Bradford. In their early years, the D24s also hauled employee excursions to Blackpool, Morecambe, and Llandudno
The D24s continued to haul the Hull to Cudworth services until 1932 when the passenger service was cut back to South Howden. This shorter service was now within reach of the more economic small tank locomotives and Sentinel steam railcars, which took over. This was only three years after the new boilers were fitted, so attempts were made to use the D24s on other secondary passenger services from Hull. These included duties to Doncaster, Scarborough, and York; as well as cheap excursions to Bridlington. However, the D24s spent much of the next two years in storage, and all five were withdrawn between 1933 and 1934.
All five of the boilers found new uses after the D24s were withdrawn. Four were used as stationary boilers, with two each at Springhead and Stratford. The fifth boiler (from No. 2428) was fitted to J28 No. 2416 between February 1934 and October 1938. It was then used as a stationary boiler.
