    On this day in History –Toton – 15th February 1970

    On this day forty years ago despite it being the winter it was out with the push bike for a twenty mile round trip to Toton for a “bunk” round the shed. This is what was seen that day:
    class 08 (3039/58, 3345/62, 3852/59, 3996/97), class 20 (8005/06/34/38/39/44/59/60/61/71/75/76, 8112/35/40/46/48/54/68/76/94), class 25 (5226/47/67, 7604/54), class 44 (9), class 45 (13/38/41/68/83/87/94, 100/10/16), class 46 (159), class 47 (1522, 1612, 1803/12/22/23/27/31/57/62, 1961).

    Although a Sunday only fifty seven locomotives and only one class 44 seen which suggests I got “slung out” half way round. A number of the above locomotives were photographed later in their careers and can be seen in this collection.

    The outward journey between Chesterfield and Sheffield was also via the “back road” via Barrow Hill, Beighton, Orgreaves as evidenced by the class 76 electrics seen in the exchange sidings at Rotherwood and 12136 in TW Wards yard. A number of the above locomotives were photographed later in their careers and can be seen in this collection.
