SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF WHITBY - Whitby Train Station - 30/05/17.

Trying out my recently purchased Panasonic FZ45 Camera, it's an older camera but it has the specs i require for good sound capture. LNER B1 No. 61264 Designed by Edward Thompson, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London North Eastern Railway (LNER), the B1 class was a wartime utility mixed-traffic locomotive for general passenger and freight duties - the LNER equivalent of the ubiquitous LMS "Black Five". A total of 410 were built between 1942 and 1952 and were to be found throughout the former LNER system in England, Scotland and, for a short period, on the Southern Region. The first member of the class was named "Springbok" in honour of a visit by South African leader Jan Smuts, and the first 40 were all given names of various breeds of antelope, but with so many being built most were not named. No. 61264 was completed and entered traffic on 5th December 1947. Used on the many express passenger services between Nottingham, Leicester and London (Marylebone), 61264 was withdrawn in November 1965. Rather than being scrapped immediately, the loco became Departmental no. 29 and was allocated to stationary boiler duties, still at Colwick. No. 61264 is owned by the Thompson B1 Locomotive Trust, and has worn a number of different numbers and names in preservation including 61034 "Chiru" and 61005 "Impala". North York Moors Historical Railway Trust Railway Conservation. Run by Volunteers. Not for profit. Today the North York Moors Historical Railway Trust is a not-for profit charitable organisation run as part of the local community. Day to day operation is carried out by volunteers with railway operations and business experience. A core team of paid staff together with approximately 100 full time staff and 50 seasonal staff, plan and operate the train service and work steadily to improve the quality of the infrastructure, the railway vehicles and experience to our visitors travelling on the railway. Every visitor that travels on the railway helps preserve one of the world's greatest railway experiences. The railway operates with the support and commitment of over 550 volunteers. The NYMR cares for, operates and develops the historic railway we own between Pickering and Grosmont. #Northyorkshiremoorsrailway It aims to provide a high quality, safe and authentic evocation of the steam age for the public. The railway is owned and operated by a Charitable Trust, providing education for all ages. The NYMR is a fully accredited museum. Statement of Significance The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a preserved historic railway stretching for 18 miles through the heart of the North York Moors National Park, from Pickering via Levisham, Newton Dale and Goathland to Grosmont, with a further 6 mile extension over Network Rail’s Esk Valley line to Whitby and occasionally Battersby. It is the largest preserved heritage railway in the UK in terms of route mileage operated and passenger numbers. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is locally, regionally and nationally significant due to its historic, scientific, aesthetic, cultural and social values. Scientific Value In the process of conserving and restoring steam locomotives, heritage diesels, railways infrastructure, Permanent Way and signalling, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway preserves and passes on the specialist skills and knowledge of traditional railway practice. The coming of the railways saw amazing engineering innovation transforming the way people and goods moved around, and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway was at the heart of these new developments as one of the earliest lines in the North of England. Aesthetic Value The stations of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway are restored to reflect different periods of the railway’s history. Pickering station, by architect G T Andrews, is presented as it would have looked in 1937 during LNER days, Levisham as a 1912 NER country station, Goathland as a 1922 station in the final year of NER and Grosmont in the style of British Railways, North Eastern Region, in 1952. The Railway’s historical atmosphere has ensured that it has made many appearances on film and television, and is a popular subject for artists and photographers. The Railway travels through the beautiful and varied scenery of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, which includes a number of SSSIs, the stunning geological formation of Newtondale and the nature reserve of Fen Bog. Cultural Value The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is a vast repository of skills, knowledge and enthusiasm associated with the railways. A strong culture of steam and heritage diesel nostalgia pervades the Railway, and the restored stations evoke for the visitor a sense of stepping back in time and a chance to take part in a moving image of our past. The Railway both celebrates and commemorates the history of railways and its involvement in the life of the local community. #whitby
