English: Up freight from Newport Yard typically being thrashed out through Thornaby station by a NER 0-8-0.
View eastward from Thornaby station, towards Newport Yard, Middlesbrough, Saltburn, North Yorkshire. Locomotive crew are believed to have been paid bonuses in this District, based on distance moved as well as the normal hours of work, so they drove their engines flat-out and Thornaby was a marvellous spot to see pyrotechics. Nevertheless these ex-NER Raven 0-8-0s thrived: here No. 63347 (pre-1946 No. 1254, built 3/13, withdrawn 10/65) is thrashing westward on a Class H train consisting mainly of flat-wagons conveying steel slabs from the great Tees-side Dorman-Long etc. Works.
