59206 Whitley Bridge Junction 17 September 1996

59206 passes Whitley Bridge Junction on 17 September 1996 with a Drax Power Station to Gascoigne Wood coal empties working, on this occasion formed of only 13 wagons. Over a quarter of century later the 59 is still hard at work, although not in Yorkshire. The same cannot be said of the classic BR Freight Rover (British Leyland) Sherpa van parked by the line to Eggborough Power Station, which was scrapped less than two years later.
