Bangor MPD |
Much to the shed-master's chagrin, no L.N.W.R. 'old stagers' remain. The 'coal tank' has gone to Monument Lane, the 'Cauliflower' to Stoke-on-Trent, and the 2-4-2 tank to Crewe. The Amlwch branch is entirely worked by Ivatt 2-6-2 tanks, of which Bangor has Nos. 41200, 41212, 41223, an 41233. Periodic loads of iron pyrites are worked over the branch to the Associated Ethyl Corporation Works at Amlwch Port. The load for the 2-6-2 tanks was scheduled for 20 loaded wagons, but has had to be reduced to 16. A number of Fairburn and Stanier 2-6-4 tanks, which have been at Bangor for some time, have recently departed to Greenock, and from the latter shed two of the parallel boiler Fowler type have been received in exchange, Nos. 42415/6. The present L.Y.R. contingent, employed on shunting at Menai Bridge Sidings, local trips and on the Bangor Harbour branch, comprised Nos. 52219, 52269/70. The only L.N.W.R. locomotive seen at Bangor was No. 49416 of 8D, which had arrived the previous day with a load of sleepers. The other 'visitors' were No. 45595 of 9A and one of the inevitable 'Austerity' 2-8-0's from Mold Junction. |
