11th DECEMBER 2024: 1Z22- NORWICH to YORK CHRISTMAS EXPRESS WITH 44871 BLACK 5 at DONCASTER RAIL STATION.

 

Black 5, 44871 steams past Doncaster Rail Station on the DF-line to York.

The steam locomotive, 44871, a 'Black 5' was scheduled to pass through Doncaster today. So instead of travelling up to York, I opted for a change and watch from Donny, going full throttle down the fast line.

170454 calls at P3B bound for Sheffield.

Got to the station with half hour to spare, so time to view other traction on the lines.

150275 departs P4 for Sheffield.

185131 calls at P3B bound for Liverpool Lime Street.

Above, two images of 220006 at platform 4 headind south.

DVT 82222  with a London Kings Cross bound service stops at P4.

Point mechanism at Doncaster Rail Station.

Well worth visiting the station as it's allways good to see a Stanier Black 5 at full throttle/steam!
