LNER (ex-North Eastern) 0-6-0T at Normanton (LMS) Locomotive Depot
Because its main line from York via Church Fenton came to Normanton, carrying heavy east-west freight traffic, the LNER also had a marshalling yard there but its locomotives were kept and serviced at the LMS (ex-Midland) Depot. This Worsdell J71 0-6-0T (No. 8292) was built in 1892 and withdrawn in 1954, being one of three allocated there in 1947 along with two ex-NE 0-6-0's. At the time the LMS had 75 locomotives at Normanton (LMS Code 20D), comprising:- 4 4-4-0, 19 2-8-0, 2 2-6-0, 37 0-6-0, 2 2-6-2T, 5 2-4-2T and 6 0-6-0T.

Looking NE along the railway from Altofts Road bridge
When I was a kid there were huge sidings along this stretch of railway, I can just remember seeing the steam trains being gathered in them waiting to be scrapped!

North from Normanton down the main lines past the Locomotive Depot
View NE from north of Normanton Station, towards Leeds, and Church Fenton; ex-Midland Sheffield etc. - Leeds etc. trunk line, junction of the ex-North Eastern main line to Church Fenton and York, which was the extension of the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire main line from Manchester via Wakefield. This was a very important and busy junction - hence all the trains and smoke, especially from the LNER K1 2-6-0 coming up with a long freight, no doubt from York. The Depot - on the right - was primarily for freight; it was in the Leeds District of the LMSR Midland Division, coded 20D. The allocation (in 1954) included 3 North Eastern 0-6-0Ts for shunting the NE Yard and 44 LMR locomotives comprising 2 4-4-0s, 16 2-8-0s, 17 0-6-0s, 1 2-6-4T, 2 2-6-2Ts and 6 0-6-0Ts. The Depot survived until 1/1/68.
