Whitby Railway station with trains from the NYMR

Whitby Railway station with trains from the NYMR
Whitby's original railway station stood near to the end of the current platform, in the form of the offices, workshop and carriage shed of the Whitby and Pickering Railway; a single track horse worked line opened throughout in 1836. Its engineer was George Stephenson. It has been run through the years by W&P, Y&MR, NER, LNER and finally British Railways. Now it’s quite different after many modifications completed in 2014 allowing by 2020: 4-5 trains per day from the heritage line of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) and six a day by the present ‘Northern Line’ which is part of our National Railway system.
Here we see, left the diesel having just arrived from Grosmont and the steam engine Repton on the right making ready for departure.
Diesel No. D7328: BR Class 25 “Sybilla” –Built in Manchester by Beyer Peacock (Sulzer Ltd), entered service in 1965. Withdrawn 1987 from Cricklewood East after 24 years 10 months. BO-Bo wheel arrangement.
Steam Locomotive: SR No. 926 “Repton” - ‘The Opimist’, SR Class V ‘Schools’ 4-4-0. Built in Eastleigh and entered service in 1934, withdrawn in 1962 at Basingstoke after 28 years of service. Worked for Southern Railway and British Railways. (was No. 30926 from 1948-62)

Best full screen.
Ps someday, I shall make a mini-series of all these trains in their full glory.
