Down iron ore train at Stoneyford near Langley Mill
View southward on the ex-Midland Erewash Valley main line, towards Langley Mill, Toton Yard, Trent and the South. The Class H ore train is one of many run each day from the Northamptonshire ore-fields to steelworks in South Yorkshire. The locomotive is Stanier 8F 2-8-0 No. 48209 (built 1943, withdrawn 4/64) - a Canklow (Rotherham) engine for much of its life.

Up class H freight on the Erewash main line at Stoneyford, near Langley Mill, 1963
View NW from the same bridge as in Image] and my other photographs at this site. This train is on the Up Fast line, but is headed by No. 48765, another of the LMS Stanier 8F 2-8-0s built by the LNER at Doncaster Works (2/46) under wartime order and used by the LNER as their No. 3560 then 3160, until 10/47 when it was handed over to the LMSR; it was withdrawn as No. 48765 from Lostock Hall Shed in 8/68, so was one of the very last regular steam locomotives on BR.

Erewash Valley main line at Stoneyford, near Langley Mill, 1963
View northwards, towards Codnor Park, Chesterfields and the North on the ex-Midland Main Line - in the 'pre-Thatcher Days', this was an artery for the coal traffic, mainly concentred at Toton Yard about 10 miles south of here. A typical Class H freight is running south on the Up Slow, headed by yet another Stanier 8F 2-8-0, No. 48672 (built in 1944 by the SR at Ashford Works, withdrawn 11/66). (See my many other photographs taken at this interesting spot).

Up class H mineral on the Erewash main line at Stoneyford, near Langley Mill, 1963
Another view northward from the bridge at Stoneyford, exactly as Image] and others I took at this spot. This Stanier 8F 2-8-0 is No. 48721: it was one of the many built at the Brighton Works of the SR in the War (8/44) nominally for the LMSR but actually acquired temporarily (until late 1947) by the LNER and employed (together with another 43 built by the LNER) as Class O6. (Class O6 also comprised 60 8Fs (LMS Nos. 8500-59) built at Darlington and Doncaster in 1944-45 and hired, but not purchased by the LNER until 1946-47!) No. 48721 was numbered 7667 when new, then 3116, then 3515 on the LNER, becoming 8721 on movement to the LMSR in 11/47, so its BR number (48721) was its fifth. (For details, see Volume 6B of the Railway Correspondence and Travel Society's 'Green Books', 'Locomotives of the LNER')

Up fast freight at Stoneyford Junction, near Langley Mill
View southward, towards Langley Mill & Eastwood, Toton Yard, Trent and the South: ex-Midland Erewash Valley main line. In spite of being a Class C, the train is on the Goods line. The locomotive is Stanier 5MT ('Black Five') 4-6-0 No. 44806. Built in 7/44, it lasted to the End of Steam in 8/68 and was preserved straight away. It has been active on several Heritage Railways, being named 'Magpie' by the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway and later - in memory of her owner - 'Kenneth Aldcroft', by the Llangollen Railway, on which it now resides.
