The Railways of Immingham Part 1 

Very interesting film. Nice to see the infrastructure ,docks etc. And that lovely signal box xx

Thanks for uploading this Malcolm. Brings back happy memories when I was a small lad at that time. I know the Depot Manager the late Colin Palmer and he invited me and my Dad one Sunday Morning and it was fantastic visit the Depot to see many First Generation Diesels on site

That brought back memories I worked at the loco from 1986 until 2008 and I saw alot of old workmates, thanks for sharing

Great video, thanks fir taking the time to film , narratte and post . Fantastic day out for the kids too. 👍👍😀

Outstanding piece of work sir, splendid stuff :)

Thanks, a nice trip down memory lane. My mum, Betty McKay, is on the film at 30:40!

Another great video Malcom thanks for posting.

This was brilliant, Malcolm. It would be very interesting to see old maps of the town where all these tracks and sidings were.

thanks Malcolm. reminds me of my spotting days in the 1970s and the railtours recently via the loop and to Cleethorpes with the deltic a few weeks ago.

Thanks for this fascinating video 👍

What a brilliant, informative and insightful look at this great railway location during happier times. Thanks for sharing this Malcolm.

Great footage once again, really enjoyed watching. Thanks for your efforts

Excellent video, recognised a lot of people on there.

Thanks Malcolm great footage, thanks for preserving history, I appreciate beyond belief!

Interesting close up of railway workings 30 years ago. Thank you.

Knocking it out the park, Malcolm. Amazing stuff this!

Thank you once again. I never really got to see the area, but as a young lad was jealous of anyone taking the 45 bus with its destination blind reading ‘Immingham Loco’ to go and work on the trains. Looking forward to part 2!

Great Video…very informative really enjoyed it..keep them coming..

Thanks for some great footage with a concise and informative commentary. Nice to see some behind the scene shots of a typical depot mess room and booking on area.

Thank you for sharing.

Very informative. Great video. Bernie NZ

From Brumby Rd you could often see the pilots clanking back and forth during the week. We called them the mechanical oompah loompahs. 😂😂

Great video see quite a few old faces on there , worked 37 years at Immingham TMD and its changed a lot in them years

Interesting how it used to be as I was one of the team that de commissioned Immingham East box, the frame was saved for preservation

Wow, I enjoyed that! A real Heineken tour, reaching many parts normally unseen except by staff. Amazed how many 'civilian' admin staff in the offices, and those big PC monitor screens didn't leave much room on your desk for paperwork, or your coffee cup. As a local lad, born and brought up in Stallingborough, it was amazing how much new stuff I learned. I hadn't realised that there was a new C&W workshop built to service the rotary iron-ore tipplers for the Anchor project. You mention last steam loco off 40B was 61058 on 7.2.1966, coincidentally the very day I started work at NP Bank in Riby Square, Grimsby. I used to 'commute' by train to Grimsby Docks station, and at least in the beginning the morning stopping train from Doncaster and the evening return approx 18:15 from Cleethorpes were worked by a B1. It later became Class 31 hauled. On the morning train two of my daily fellow travellers were a briefcase, umbrella and trilby-hatted gentleman from Scunthorpe (?) who worked in the Dock Offices, and a fitter who smoked Capstan Full Strength (splutter!) and travelled through from Doncaster to attend the boiler on the carriage-heating van on the blocks at Cleethorpes station to overnight heat the stock of the two early morning trains to London Kings Cross, in those days via the East Lincs line.
