LINCOLN LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (40A) - This was the Great Northern Railway's depot in Lincoln, just west of Central Station in the large Holmes Yard goods sidings. Opened in 1875, it was a 4-road brick-built dead-end shed with a large yard attached. In April 1959, it had an allocation of 51 engines, mainly mixed traffic and goods engines. The depot closed to steam in January 1964 and was replaced by a new diesel depot built to the east of Central Station, which played host to a small fleet of Class 03 and 08 shunters and the Class 114 DMU's used on local services. This too shut in the late 1980's. Seen here are a pair of rather exotic visitors, 56025 and 56026, brand new and under tow to Doncaster Works from the builders in Romania.
