            20194 and 20063 head south from Toton with an unfitted loaded coal train, 28th April 1978. The photograph is taken from Nottingham Road bridge in the centre of Long Eaton. In the background is the bridge connecting the High Level Goods to the Down Yard, the Down Hump Tower and associated Toton hunp shunting signals. The bridge is still standing but has been devoid of any railway now for thirty five years, the Down Hump Tower and Toton signals long gone and on the waste land on the left is now occupied by a large Asda store.

Locomotive History
20194 was originally D8194 and was built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry works in 1967. It was initially allocated to Toton and was to spend, as far as I can tell, its whole career allocated to here until withdrawn in January 1992. In 1982 20194 was stored when a large number of Toton’s vacuum braked class 20 fleet were stored due to the reduction in coal traffic from pit closures and the continued introduction of air braked MGR coal wagons. 20194 was re-instated in 1983 following a visit to Crewe works for a General classified repair and fitment of air brake and slow speed control equipment to enable it to operate MGR coal duties. Following withdrawal in 1991 it was sold to DRS in 1997 who refurbished and renumbered it 20313. It was stored by DRS in December 2008 and broken up by CF Booth, Rotherham in June 2013.
