Railway preservation society brings in guest loco for the summer

Read More
A ‘new’ loco has come to work on Scunthorpe’s steelworks for the summer on loan from her home base of the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Railway.
She’s Number 54, built in 1952 and a former ’employee’ of the National Coal Board. She was delivered new to East Hetton Colliery on January 10th 1952 – initially numbered No. 54 then eventually sent to East Hetton Colliery at Sedgefield in County Durham as No 22.
After the loco has undergone some testing volunteers of the Appleby-Frodingham Railway Preservation Society are looking forward to putting her into service for their summer season of brake van tours alongside Janus diesel locomotive number 1.
A spokesman for the society said members were grateful to Heanor Fleet Services Ltd and Pete Briddon for making the delivery by road.
