The Lyme Chordial - a photo on Flickriver

The Lyme Chordial

            The "Lyme Chordial" was a railtour organised to run in conjunction with Crewe Rail Day on 27 August 1995. It was headed by 56049 and tailed by 31102+31106 from Crewe to Madely Chord Junction, where the train reversed.

My pic shows the 2 x Class 31s at Silverdale colliery. The building to the left of the locos is the remains of Silverdale station - opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1863 and closed on 2 March 1964. Silverdale colliery closed in 1998.

31102 was built as D5520 in 1959 and was withdrawn from Bescot in November 1996. It was scrapped by EMR at Kingsbury in April 2007.

31106 was originally numbered D5524, appearing from Brush in March 1959. It was named "The Blackcountryman" at the date of this photo but was renamed "Spalding Town" in May 2002. 31106 is now preserved on the Weardale Railway.
