The LNER Encyclopedia

Firstly Hello
i have recieved my great grandfathers railway records and wondered if anyone had any info or photos of the engines he drove
he worked at tyne dock and drove Engines 2116 ,1994 ,1110
he was a drive from 1899 to 1937
his name was Edward West .
we have heard stories he drove the Scotsman but i think it may just be a rumour
he was also at Anfield Plain for a short while
thankyou in advance for any help

Thankyou so much for the info its really appreaciated.
Ill go to my local library and hopefully find some photos of the trains

The locos and the depots you mention were very much involved in the movement of coal and iron ore during this period with very little passenger train work other than local trains.

Thankyou so much for your replies.
Im off to tbe lo al museum
