All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –February 1958

Sixty years ago the last 9F 2-10-0 Standard class steam locomotives were still in production, diesel shunter production was in full swing and the Pilot Scheme mainline diesels were being delivered. There was also a steady flow of new diesel multiple units.

BR Eastleigh 6L (Class 202) – 1017/18

In the month fifty two steam locomotives were withdrawn, forty being over fifty years old with Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway 23 Class 0-6-0ST 51321 being the oldest, having entering traffic in July 1877 and condemned eighty years later. The majority of these withdrawals were the older secondary main line and branch line passenger engines, steam shunting engines and old freight engines being displaced by the continued delivery of the last of the Standards, Diesel Multiple Units and diesel shunting engines. Six engines condemned. were built post the 1923 grouping.

A number I have photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome
