On this day in History - Lincolnshire – 27th July 1969

A visit to a couple of Lincolnshire Motive Power Depots forty five years ago.

Lincoln (40A)
Class 03 (2024/26), class 08 (3347, 3533), class 10 (3613/14/18/19, 4061/75), class 25 (7502), class 37 (6809/15).
Lincoln Central
Class 31 (5555), class 37 (6707, 6802).
Immingham (40B)
Class 03 (2025), class 08 (3195, 3427, 3506/07/49), class 10 (4050/51), class 11 (12118/25/35), class 20 (8050/58), class 31 (5550/51/71/73/83, 5690, 5801), class 47 (1512/38/49/59/61/65/76, 1660, 1786/87, 1833/62/64/68/70/98).
Cleethorpes
Class 37 (6753/54)

Of note is the diversity of 350hp diesel shunters found at Immingham with examples of class 08, 10 and 11 being present, although the days were numbered for the class 10 and 11 locomotives. Locomotives of note were 12125 and 12135 which had been withdrawn the previous month in June 1969 and would be broken up within a few weeks of this visit during September 1969. 3613/14/19 had all been withdrawn in February 1969 and 3618 had been withdrawn in April 1969, all bar 3614 were sold to the National Coal Board for use at Moor Green colliery, the unfortunate 3614 being broken up within days of this visit during August 1969.

A notable stranger at Immingham is Western Region named class 47 1660 City of Truro.

A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome
