Flashing tail lamps came into use when trains went DOO(NP).
in 1987, when the first DOO(NP) train ran out of Healey Mills.
This train worked to Toton and return. The driver of this train was a man called Don Guy.
I remember this as I was preparing 6L44 in the next road.
L44 went to York at 15:20hrs and dropped off all its trucks at Dringhouses Yard at York.(There is a Tesco Supermarket there now.)
The engine went LD/Gd. to York Shed where we sat till the return working left York Yard South at 23:45hrs back to HM. We called this job the York lodger.
