Kitson 2509

Today we look into the archives, today we see our flagship locomotive Kitson 2509 of 1883, a Stephenson long boiler type delivered to the Consett Iron Co. Absorbed by the NCB in 1947 it ended its working life at Derwenthaugh in 1972. She was initially stored at Marley hill, before being moved to Monkwearmouth before finally arriving at Middle Engine Lane.
She is pictured at Consett, Derwenthaugh, and Marley Hill...
