York Power Station Railway. - a photo on Flickriver

            York Foss Island Power station was a small coal-fired power station serving the city of York.
It was built by York Corporation in the 1890s, opened in February 1900 and closed on 25 October 1976. The buildings were demolished around 1980. 

The Foss Islands branch line was a former railway branch in the city of York. The line, about 1.75 miles (2.82 km) long, opened in 1880, connecting the York–Scarborough line of the North Eastern Railway to a large freight depot in the Foss Islands area of the city. A siding from the yard went to a York Corporation depot that included a power station and a refuse destructor.

The photo shows an overhead electric locomotive with the driver changing the pole at the power station site. Date unknown.

Taken on: January 1, 1970
