Ex-works Sulzer Type 2 D5096 in the yard at York shed in June 1966. When delivered new from BR Darlington Works in January 1960 it was the first main line diesel locomotive to be built there. The batch of Sulzer Type 2s D5096–D5113 were all allocated to Gateshead depot in 1966 to replace '9F' class 2-10-0s used on the Tyne Dock to Consett iron ore trains. These trains were formed of a special design of bogie hopper wagon, and this batch of Sulzers had an additional compressor and associated pipework. These trains were typically around 1,000 tons and were double-headed until taken over by Class 37s in the 1970s. This batch was then reallocated to Scottish depots. Renumbered 24096 under the TOPS scheme, it was withdrawn August 1975 and disposed of at Doncaster Works. ©Gordon Edgar/Rail Photoprints
