Sinderby
Privately preserved (?) class 47 no 47540 (ex D1723) on the site of the former Sinderby station (now occupied by an agricultural equipment company) in North Yorkshire on 24 April 2009. The locomotive, which once carried the name The Institution of Civil Engineers, was withdrawn from Old Oak Common in May 1998. [Addendum: On 22 May 2009, four weeks after this photograph, the locomotive was removed on a low-loader bound for the Wensleydale Railway at Leeming Bar.] [Finale: The stripped out shell was moved from the Wensleydale Railway to Thompsons scrap yard in Stockton-on-Tees during March 2016 and cut up in early April].
