21/08/1954 Q1 on passenger train! On Saturday 21/8/54 the unusual event occurred of a Q1 0-8-0T hauling a passenger train, albeit for a short distance. On this date B16/1 61470 (50B) failed with a blown middle cylinder cover between Gascoigne Woad and Hagg Lane whilst working the 9.45 a.m. passenger train from Leeds City to Hull. 69933 (50C), one of the Gascoigne Wood hump pilots, was requisitioned to haul the disabled engine and train into Selby, where 61470 was removed by 69933 to the shed and the train worked forward by J39 64947 (50F).
