Newington Goods

Late on the afternoon of 9 February 1970 and not far from journey's end at Millerhill Yard, EE Type 3 No D6903 negotiates the sharp reverse curves between Blackford Hill and Newington with the 13:22 partially fitted freight from Carlisle New Yard. Until just over a year earlier this train had been booked to run as an unfitted through train (8S50) over the Waverley Route, departing from Carlisle only a few minutes later, but train classifications had been altered in the interim.
