A trio of B16s, nos 61443, 61413 & 61415, awaiting the cutters torch in Darlington Scrapyard on 27 May 1962. View is east, with the houses of Station Road in the background and North Road station itself off picture to the left. [All 3 locomotives had been officially withdrawn by BR in September 1961 from York, Mirfield and Hull Dairycoates respectively.] 61415 is already partially stripped as it is devoid of both chimney & dome cover and has had the boiler handrail removed. It was possibly cannibalised at Hull MPD.
