British Rail Class 02
The British Rail Class 02 were a class of twenty 0-4-0 diesel-hydraulic shunting locomotives built by the Yorkshire Engine Company in 1960 (first ten, D2850-D2859) and 1961 (D2860-D2869) for service in areas of restricted loading gauge and curvature such as docks. They had the door to the cab at the rear, with a railed veranda behind the cab; this feature was very unusual on British Rail locomotives although was used on many Yorkshire Engine Co. designs and was/is quite normal in North American practice.
==Operation==
Initial deliveries were to Bank Hall shed in Liverpool and most were allocated to Depots around Liverpool or Manchester. With the changes in the role of the British railway system and the closing of many of the facilities in which the Class 02 locomotives worked, they were increasingly surplus to requirements. The first locomotives were withdrawn in December 1969 from the Preston division of the Midland Region〔 and by the end of 1971 there were only 4 left in service with British Rail. Of these, only three survived long enough to enter the BR TOPS computer system: 02 001 (formerly D2851), 02 003 (D2853), and 02 004 (D2856), and all three were withdrawn in June 1975 from Allerton depot.〔 Being between nine and fourteen years old when withdrawn, they still had a lot of life left in them, and the majority were sold to private industry, with only 9 being cut up for scrap.
One example was employed by the National Coal Board at Chatterley Whitfield Colliery near Stoke-on-Trent; this locomotive (number unknown) stayed there when Chatterley Whitfield briefly became a mining museum.
