Although
on a different date, the time of day in this picture is the same as that
in the previous one – about 2.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. On this
occasion I had taken up position roughly on the Ferrybridge Road bridge
to photograph the approaching Goole-Leeds train passing a Goole W.D. (i.e
ex War Department) locomotive which is waiting to drop back into the
down sidings to pick up a coal train for Goole (the same working as in
the previous picture). The locomotive on the passenger train is a
Hull-based Ivatt Class 4MT 2-6-0 which was probably covering for the
non-availability of the Goole engine normally rostered for this turn. Peter Cookson Railway
