Thornaby Station, with Down freight and a Diesel light-engine
View westward, towards Stockton etc., Eaglescliffe, Northallerton and Darlington. It was an immensely busy station on the western outlet of the great Newport Marshalling Yard and the industries of Middlesbrough. The Class J freight is headed by ex-NE J27 0-6-0 No. 65868; the Diesel - seeming then an 'interloper' - is BR/Sulzer Type 2 No. D5149.
