Class 59

South Eastern Division

Second of the batch, No. 59202, is seen trundling through Greenhithe on 22nd September 2004,

presumably heading for Cliffe Gravel Works. The 59/2 series is a general improvement over the

earlier 59/0 and 59/1 batches, featuring a greater top speed and a more advanced slow-speed

system for merry-go-round coal workings. David Glasspool

Another scene from Dartford on 10th November 2004 shows No. 59203 trundling light engine

from Cliffe Stone works towards Hither Green. David Glasspool
