A relatively ex works 08057, having been released from Derby Works five months earlier has been in some sort of altercation and has suffered a bashed in cab. It is standing in the yard at Doncaster Works on the 8th August 1976 and you would assume that it is there for the collision damage to be repaired. However, the damage proved to be surprisingly fatal as it had actually been withdrawn a couple of weeks earlier. It would linger around Doncaster Works for another nine months before being broken up during May 1977.
Locomotive History
08057 was built by Darlington Works as 13071 and entered traffic in November 1953 allocated to Hull Diarycoates MPD. Three months later it transferred to Hull Springhead before returning to Dairycoates in March 1955. It subsequently became D3073 in the 1957 renumbering scheme and transferred to York in July 1960 before again returning to Dairycoates in September 1964. It transferred to Bradford Hammerton Street in June 1965 and Healy Mills in October 1966.
