From 'Aspects of the Hull & Barnsley Railway Part 4' : A busy view of South Cave station circa 1910. H&BR Class ‘A’ 0-8-0 ‘Tiny’ No. 119 with an eastbound loaded coal train of ‘best Yorkshire’ is held at the Home signal, prior to tackling the 1 in 150 ascent to the summit at Little Weighton, while a westbound 0-6-0 heading a lengthy train of mineral empties pauses to take on water at the platform column. The Class ‘A’ 0-8-0s were rostered to haul forty-five fully loaded 10-ton coal wagons plus a 20-ton brake van (a gross load maximum of 780 tons) between Cudworth and Alexandra Dock, and to return with 65 empties – considerably more than that allowed for 0-6-0 types. No. 119 was the third of the class of fi fteen built, in March 1907. It became NER No. 3119 in 1923 and then L&NER No. 2500 in July 1924, with reclassifi cation to ‘Q10’ in June 1927. The class had short lives under the L&NER, however, all being withdrawn in 1931, No. 2500 going in May. South Cave’s staggered platforms are well illustrated here. Interestingly, a footbridge is shown on the signalling diagram below but there is no evidence that one ever existed here from these pictures, nor does it appear on the 1890 25 inch OS depicting the station. The footpath in the right foreground leads to the road overbridge. MICK NICHOLSON COLLECTION
