These are copies of a series of maps prepared and ‘issued’ by D C Goodacre of British Railways in, I believe, 1955, and were available for purchase at the the princely sum of 1\/- (One shilling = \u00a30.05p). (It should be noted that it is not clear who actually ‘published’ them as there is no indication on the copy that I have). They offer a view of the railways of Lincoln in an age that has now gone by, when there was a lot of ‘wagon load’ traffic to be seen on the rail network, and many large factories had their own ‘internal’ rail systems and often had their own locomotives. Many changes took place, of course. The tracks in the Pyewipe<\/a> area were simplified in the late 1960s, and the sidings to the SE of  Lincoln Central Station<\/a> went in September 1967, as did platform 8. The track layout in the Pelham Junction & Sincil Junction<\/a> area was simplified after the Lincoln rail crash of 3rd June, 1962.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also been possible to add three historic signal box diagrams produced by Tim Lockley: Pelham Street Junction 1950-59<\/a>, Lincoln High Street<\/a> (1960) & West Holmes Junction c1960<\/a>

‘Something’ on industrial railways in the Lincoln area, but I’m sure this can be expanded.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of interest to the industrial archaeologist are the large number of ‘industrial (or ‘private’) sidings’ serving sites as diverse as ‘Newsums’ <\/a>joinery works and the great foundries and erecting shops of ‘Ruston & Hornsby’. It has been suggested that Lincoln had more industrial sidings, for its size, than many cities in the UK. It is worth commenting that, according to ‘British Industrial Locomotives (Industrial Railway Society, 1969) there were 11 ‘industrial’ locomotives (all i.c.) based within the area of the maps, whilst there were a further three based within ten miles or so of Lincoln Central Station. There were also seven 2′ 0″ locomotives at three locations around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, the majority of the industrial locomotives in use at that time were manufactured by the local firm of Ruston & Hornsby, the only exceptions being a Bagnall 4wh Diesel Hydraulic (WB 3208\/1961) at Harrison’s, North Hykeham, a 4wh Diesel Mechanical of 2′ 0″ gauge by Motor Rail (MR 5001\/1930) at Finingley Gravel, Thorpe on the Hill (o.o.u. by 1969), and the solitary steam locomotive in the area – a Hudswell Clark 0-6-0ST (HC 1604\/1928) at the British Sugar Corporation’s Bardney factory: all being out of the area covered by the maps. (HC1604\/1928 is now under restoration at the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
