Notes
:
(1) Shunting
at Prospect Hill involved 3442 being detached, 62005 drawing train well forward
onto thick rust then 3442 onto rear to draw into Whitby tender first still with
62005 on other end. Also complex shunting from Whitby into Whitby Coal Yard for
lengthy stop for pathing reasons.
(1) 62005 on rear.
