            31191 departs from Kings Cross with what appears to be a passenger train (rather than empty stock) as it seems to be steam heating the train, 22nd January 1977. 

Locomotive History
31191 was built by Brush at the Falcon works, Loughborough as D5614 and it entered traffic in May 1960, allocated to Finsbury Park MPD (which had just opened) for suburban passenger, empty stock and local duties on the southern end of the East Coast Main Line. It was built with a Mirrlees JVS12T 1250bhp engine with Brush electrical equipment. The Mirrlees engines were not successful and in 1964 a programme of works commenced to re-engine the fleet with the 1470bhp English Electric 12SVT engines with D5614 being released from Doncaster works in May 1966 so modified.. With the reduction in empty carriage duties in the late seventies with the introduction of HST’s and the loss of the suburban passenger duties due to electrification it had by 1982 migrated to Immingham for freight duties and by 1986 had lost its train heating capability with the isolation of its steam heating boiler. By 1988 it was allocated to Stratford. In 1998 Fragonset Railways purchased four redundant Class 31 locomotives (31186/91, 31459/68) and in 1999 31186/91 were modified with through electric-train heating wiring to enable to work in multiple with a class 31/4 and still heat the train regardless as to the position of the class 31/4 in the formation. 31186/91 were reclassified as class 31/6 and renumbered 31601/02 respectively. With the demise of Fragonset Railways 31602 was operated by British American Railway Services, carrying Network Rail yellow livery until stored at the Weardale Railway. It was broken up at Wolsingham (Weardale Railway) during June 2018.
