View NE, in the incomparable line-up of locomotives visible from the road by the York (North) Locomotive Depot in Steam days. Behind J27 No. 65894 seems to be a V2 2-6-2 and on the right a Peppercorn Pacific and the nose of a Diesel - which in the form of English-Electric Type 4's were just beginning to take over the ECML expresses. No. 65894 lasted until 9/67, to be the last of its Class, and is preserved as NER No. 2392 at the Darlington Railway Centre.
