Darlington Works & Shed 1964 (Part1)

Darlington Works was established by the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1863 and built and maintained locomotives until its closure on 1st April 1966.  Chief Mechanical Engineers included William Worsdell and Vincent Raven who designed some of the icon engines of the North Eastern Railway.  The Works played an important part in the locomotive developments of the LNER under Gresley, Thompson and Peppercorn and finally, from 1948 until 1966, North Road Works were usefully employed in building steam and diesel locomotives for British Railways.

Darlington Works and Shed
By 1964, Darlington Works and Shed were in decline. The Works, whilst still building Type 2 diesels, had begun to
maintain a range of steam locos which it had not dealt with before. It also began to deal with locos from a much
wider part of the country. It seems that they were probably taking over maintenance of steam locos from Derby.
