Immingham engine shed, also known as Immingham depot, [4] or more recently as Immingham TMD [5] and always locally as Loco[ citation needed] is a railway maintenance depot ( traction maintenance depot) located on the Immingham Dock estate, in North East Lincolnshire, England. The depot code is IM. [6]
In 2015 the depot was operated by DB Schenker. A separate TMD also known as Immingham TMD, but with the depot code IN, is operated by Freightliner. [2]
The engine shed was built by the Humber Commercial Dock and Railway company in the southeastern corner of the Immingham Dock estate. As initially built [7] the engine shed had twelve "roads" (tracks) [8] providing facilities for 60 locomotives. [9]
The railways at Immingham were worked by the Great Central Railway, the developer of the Port. [10] In 1923 it was taken over by the LNER and then became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways in 1948.
During the LNER period (1930s) a concrete automatic coaling stage was added to the facilities. [11] [12]
During the British Railways period the facility had a shed code of 40B [13] and had two sub-sheds: New Holland [14] [15] and Grimsby.
At its peak the shed had an allotment of over 120 locomotives, [16] with 12 stabling roads [17] [18] – part of the building was demolished in the 1950s and a diesel depot constructed. [13] [19]
Soon after opening a dormitory block was built near the turntable for use by visiting crews on lodging turns. [20] [21] [22] [23] [24]
A new 78 feet 9 inches (24.00 m) x 367 feet 6 inches (112.01 m) diesel shed was built in 1966 south east of the steam shed, which was converted to wagon repair. [25] In 1966 it had 90 diesels, plus 35 shunters. [26]
Steam locomotive types deployed include LNER Thompson Class B1, LMS Stanier Class 8F, and BR standard class 9F. [27]
The last steam locomotive worked from the shed was No.61058 ( LNER B1) on 7 February 1966, which hauled a train of empty wagons to Markham Colliery. [28]
Following the splitting up of the former BR Trainload business into three companies in 1994, the depot came briefly under the control of "shadow privatisation company" Loadhaul. [29] Loadhaul was acquired and merged into English Welsh & Scottish in 1995.
The TOPS depot code for the EWS/DB Schenker depot at Immingham is IM, and for the Freightliner Traction Maintenance Depot at Immingham, IN. [30] [31]
As a result of centralisation of maintenance activities by EWS to Toton TMD the shed was used only for storage of out of service locomotives. [13]
