An unidentified British Railways Brush Type 2 diesel
locomotive enters the cut off line for Kingsbury line with a freight service.
Construction of the first locomotive of this new class was completed in the
final week of September 1957, and the handing-over took place on 31st October
1957. This was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways
to replace steam traction. Around twenty-six locomotives have been purchased,
and preserved, for use on heritage railways around the UK. Of note are the
first built, D5500 (later No 31018), and the last built, (D5862 later No
31327).
