A heavy ex-GER J20 class 0-6-0 at March Shed, 1951
One of numerous freight engines resting on the long sidings at the large Depot serving Whitemoor Yard is an almost indecipherably dirty ex-GER Hill class D81 (LNER J20/1) 0-6-0 BR No. 64688. It was built in 11/22 as GER No. 1283, becoming LNER No. 8283, later 4688 in 1946, withdrawn 1/59 - the first to go. The J20s were the largest 0-6-0s in Britain, until 1942 when the Bulleid Q1s appeared on the Southern.

Between Duties
Diesel locomotives layover during the weekend at March Traction Maintenance Depot. The depot has since been demolished and the site is now an industrial estate. The associated Whitemoor Yard was given a new lease of life when Temple Mills yard was partially closed to create a Eurostar depot.

March Railway Depot
Shunters layover at the weekend beside what I believe to be an old steam shed at this depot beside Whitemoor Yard. These depot buildings were demolished in 1987 and replaced with a modern facility. The depot closed in 1995 and an industrial estate has been built on the site.
