CAMBRIDGE LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (31A/CA) - Railways came to Cambridge early on and the Great Eastern Railway opened a locomotive depot in 1847 just north of the station and to the west 0f the line. The shed building was a brick, 7-road dead-end shed and a large yard was attached. The allocation in April 1959, at which point some trains were already being worked by mainline diesel locomotives, was 71 engines. including 24 of these were 0-6-0's of GER origin, 26 were 4-6-0's to work mainline passenger trains, a mixture of mainly Class B1's and B2/B17's and 10 Class L1 2-6-4T's for local passenger work. There were also 3 LMS 2MT 2-6-0's to work to Kettering. Many local services were already in the hands of DMU's and railbuses. The depot closed to steam in June 1962 and the buildings were subsequently demolished but sidings remained and were used to stable engines right up until the 1980's, the land now being turned over to car parking and cycle sheds. In place of the steam depot, a three-road dead-end shed was opened by British Rail in 1958 adjacent to Coldhams Lane. This provided maintenance facilities for Cambridge's large allocation of Class 101, 105, 114 and 120 DMU's. It was also a stabling point for Class 03 and 08 shunters. Following the privatisation of British Rail, the depot was used for maintenance purposes by Rail Express Systems (RES) until its temporary closure in 1996, being reopened by Central Trains less than eighteen months later. As of 2022, the depot's allocation consists of Cross Country Class 170 Turbostar trains but the shed now seems to be unused and EMU's are stabled in the sidings. A new depot is under construction at the southern end of the station on the old carriage sidings for the maintenance of the new Class 720's now entering service with Greater Anglia. This picture, taken in April 1960, shows a line of engines beside the locoshed headed by Class B1 4-6-0 No.61171, a Cambridge engine at that time.

  • CANADA DOCK LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT - Situated within the miles of docks operated by the Mersey Docks & Harbour Board in Liverpool was the locoshed in the Canada Dock, a single road, timber built shed seen here in September 1946 with MHDB 0-6-0ST No.29 standing in the doorway.
  • CARLISLE DURRAN HILL (12C) - A sub-shed of Carlisle Kingmoor, it stood south of the Appleby line, about a mile east of Carlisle Station. It opened in 1875 but lost its allocation in February 1936 but was used for loco storage until 1959. Here we see ex-LTSR 4-4-2T's No.41973, 41974 and 41972 in storage. These engines, along with 41971, were officially withdrawn in 1955 from Skipton but had been in store here since at least 1950. How did they end up this far from home?
  • CARLISLE KINGMOOR LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (12A/68A/12A/KM) - This very large depot was opened by The Caledonian Railway in 1876 and rebuilt in 1916 as a brick 8-road through shed with attached repair shops to service the marshalling yards that surrounded this border outpost. In March 1959, it was home to 143 engines covering the full range of ex-LMS classes including no less than 18 Class 6XP 'Jubilee' 4-6-0's, 5 BR 'Clan' Class Pacific's and 50 Class 5MT 4-6-0's! By April 1965, this had declined to 119 with the withdrawal of most of the pre-Grouping locos but it now housed 62 Class 5MT 4-6-0's, 16 'Britannia' Pacifics and Class 9F 2-10-0's among others. As electrification of the WCML advanced, so its roll of notables increased. In March 1967 it could lay claim to no less than 25 'Britannia' Pacific's, though not all in traffic. Increasingly, as 1967 wore on, it became a dump for withdrawn engines and closed to steam in January 1968. A new diesel depot on the same site was opened in January 1968 but this closed in 1987 and lay derelict until 1998 when the site was taken over by Direct Rail Services, who operate a fleet of Class 88, 68, 66, 57, 37 and 20 locomotives and, although concentrating mainly on nuclear traffic when first formed, they now operate traffic of all types. Although DRS have a large fleet of active locos, there are many stored there as well. Seen here are Riddles BR Class 9F 2-10-0 No.92110 and a number of it's classmates. 92110 was withdrawn from here in December 1967.

Although DRS have a large fleet of active locos, there are many stored there as well. Seen here in August 1964 is Riddles BR Clan Class 4-6-2 No.72005 CLAN MACGREGOR, withdrawn from Kingmoor in May 1965. Ten of this class were built by BR to handle expresses over the old G&SWR routes to South Western Scotland.

  • CARNBROE, Coatbridge - Lines of ex-Caledonian Railway locomotives awaiting scrapping at Carnbroe in October 1961, 57418 nearest the camera.
  • CARNFORTH LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (10A) - Completed in 1944 on the site of the former Furness Railway depot, its late construction in the steam locomotive age resulted in its long-term use and conservation by British Railways. The station and goods yards were in a very important strategic position, acting as a concentration point for goods and passengers originating over a very large geographical area. As steam was steadily withdrawn from BR during the 1960's, the survivors gathered in this area and Carnforth was the last major steam depot in operation, with sub-sheds at Rose Grove and Lostock Hall. It provided the engines that operated on the last day of steam operation and then closed. Part of it was rented out by preservationists while still open and this eventually became Steamtown Carnforth, a very popular attraction for some years, closing in 1998. The site has since been taken over by West Coast Railway Co., who operate a large number of ex-BR diesels on rail tour and charter work and also a number of steam locos. This picture must have been taken not long before closure. The four locos on the left are all preserved: Class 2-6-4T's Nos.42073 and 42085, Class 2MT 2-6-0 No.46441 and Class B1 4-6-0 No.61306. Most of the locos in steam seem to be Class 5MT 'Black Five' 4-6-0's. Note the Class 28 Co-Bo Type 2 diesel with full yellow ends in front of the shed.

This view shows the coaling towers and water tank, extant today, behind Class 5MT 'Black Five' No.44894, just about to go 'on shed'. 44894 was a 10A loco from July 1965 until the end of steam. Note the Class 17 diesels on the right: they wouldn't last much longer than 44894!
  • CARSTAIRS LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (28C/64D/66E) - This depot was opened by the Caledonian Railway in 1853, located immediately north and east of Carstairs station. It was a brick 4-road through shed and in the Second World War was the location of the emergency Control Office. In March 1959, there were 41 engines allocated. One of the functions of the depot was to provide banking engines for heavy goods trains and so there were 10 tank engines based there for that purpose. There were also 12 small goods engines 13 Class 5MT 4-6-0's and 2 Class WD 8F 2-8-0's plus 4 CR Class 3P 4-4-0's for local passenger trains. It closed to steam in December 1966, then re-opened and then remained in use as a diesel depot, and later as a stabling point after the building was demolished. Sidings still remain in place. Seen here in August 1960 is McIntosh CR Class 439 2P 0-4-4T No.55233, a 64C Dalry Road loco at the time, withdrawn in September 1961 from 63A Perth South.
  • CHICHESTER LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT, Hundred of Manhood and Selsey Tramway - The locomotive shed at Chichester was adjacent to Abbey Station and was a two-road dead-end shed well able to accommodate most of the railway's ramshackle fleet of engines. Just about the whole loco stock is assembled here, from front to back, are SELSEY (Peckett 2-4-2T of 1897), RINGING ROCK (Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST of 1883, SIDLEHAM (Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST of 1861) and CHICHESTER (Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST of 1903) - seen in July 1927.
  • CHICHESTER LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT, Hundred of Manhood and Selsey Tramway - The locomotive shed at Chichester was adjacent to Abbey Station and was a two-road dead-end shed well able to accommodate most of the railway's ramshackle fleet of engines. Seen here are SIDLESHAM, an 0-6-0ST built by Manning Wardle & Co. in 1861 and bought from industrial contractors, scrapped when the line closed in 1935. HESPERUS was an 0-4-2ST, built 1871 by Neilson & Co. and obtained from the PD&SWJR, regauged from 3 foot 6 inches and withdrawn before closure.
  • CHICHESTER LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT, Hundred of Manhood and Selsey Tramway - The locomotive shed at Chichester was adjacent to Abbey Station and was a two-road dead-end shed well able to accommodate most of the railway's ramshackle fleet of engines. Seen here is the Ford railcar poking out. In 1924, Stephens was seeking means of reducing operating expenses and acquired two railcars built on Ford Model T chassis, with bodies by Edmunds of Thetford. They operated together, back-to-back with a truck for luggage and parcels between them; they had rails on the roof to contain additional parcels stowed there. Two more railcars were acquired from the Shefflex Motor Company of Tinsley in 1928; they too operated as a unit with a truck between. The railcars were provided with a crude timber buffer beam in front of the radiator, as protection.
  • Class D3/6 - 12000 - LMS 0-6-0DE Diesel Shunter - built 04/36 by Derby Works as LMS No.7074 - 1955 to BR No.12000 - 04/61 withdrawn from 17A Derby, where seen in July 1950.
