Summary
| Description |
English: Doncaster Locomotive Depot. View SE in the yard at the north end of the Shed, which at that time (1949) had 12 through roads. Therefore this very important Divisional Main Depot (coded 36A by BR) was able to house a substantial proportion of its allocation of 182 under cover - in spite of appearances, when it was a Sunday. The Depot provided motive power for much of the passenger and freight traffic on both the ex-Great Northern East Coast Main Line and the subsidiary main lines to Leeds and to Hull, also for the ex-Great Central Sheffield - Doncaster - Cleethorpes axis and for the great marshalling yards at Doncaster. In mid-1950, the allocation included 5 4-6-2s, 21 4-6-0s, 24 2-6-2s, 6 2-6-0s, 40 2-8-0s, 43 0-6-0s and 43 0-6-0Ts. As the major ex-Great Northern Locomotive Works was also located at Doncaster, this Depot dealt as well with new and repaired locomotives from the Works: two can be seen on the left here, a C12 4-4-2T No. 67391 and A4 Pacific 60010 'Dominion of Canada' with its bell. The Depot closed to steam in 5/66 but has continued as a Diesel Depot. |
