EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kings Cross Freighter, a Class C freight train, embarks on its journey from Park Lane Depot in Gateshead at 19:25pm. This print captured on the 24th of August in 1960 showcases the remarkable locomotive, a D283 Electric type 4 diesel engine, as it confidently hauls a goods train towards its destination. The Kings Cross Assured Arrival time is set for an early morning arrival at 05:20am. This nostalgic image takes us back to the vibrant era of the 1960s when diesel engines revolutionized railway transportation. With its powerful presence and sleek design, this locomotive exemplifies the technological advancements that shaped our modern transport systems. The significance of this momentous departure lies not only in its historical context but also in the operational constraints faced by this particular train. Limited to just 50 wagons due to safety regulations, every inch of space was utilized efficiently to ensure smooth and secure transportation. As we delve into this snapshot from Teesside Archive's collection, we are transported back to an era where London's railways played a vital role in connecting communities and facilitating trade across regions like Tyneside. Let us cherish these memories and appreciate how far we have come since then.
