Healey Mills Marshalling Yard

Ex-Departmental locomotives TDB 968009 (24142) and ADB 968001 (D8233) at the east end of Healey Mills Yard in April 1984, where they had lain for over a year following use as train heating units. In the background a class 37 rumbles past with a coal train. Whilst 24142 was to succumb to being scrapped, at Coopers Metals in Sheffield, in September that same year, D8233 is undergoing restoration by 'The Class 15 Preservation Group' on the East Lancs Railway. The class 15s were some of the earliest diesels withdrawn by BR see image 2884
