Immingham engine shed, also known as ''Immingham depot'', or more recently as ''Immingham TMD''. and always locally as ''Loco'' is a railway maintenance depot (Traction Maintenance Depot) located on the Immingham Dock estate, in North East Lincolnshire. The depot is (2015) operated by DB Schenker, a separate TMD also known as Immingham TMD is operated by Freightliner. == History == 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 c. 1912 the engine shed had facilities for 60 locomotives. The railways at Immingham were worked by the Great Central Railway, the developer of the Port. Later (1923) it was taken over by the LNER and then became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways (c.1948) During the LNER period (1930s) a automatic concrete coaling stage was added to the facilities. During the British Railways period the facility had a shed code of 40B.〔, reproduced from The Railway Magazine, September 2008〕 At a peak the shed had an allotment of over 120 locomotives, with 12 stabling roads - part of the building was demolished in the 1950s and a diesel depot constructed.〔 A new x diesel shed was built in 1966 south east of the steam shed, which was converted to wagon repair. In 1966 it had 90 diesels, plus 35 shunters.〔Railway Magazine November 1966 p. 620〕 Steam locomotive types deployed include LNER Thompson Class B1, LMS Stanier Class 8F, and BR standard class 9F. The last steam locomotive worked from the shed was No.61058 (LNER B1) in 7 February 1966, which hauled a train of empty wagons to Markham Colliery. Following the splitting up of the former BR Trainload business into three companies in 1994, the depot came under the brief control of "shadow privatisation company" Loadhaul. Loadhaul was acquired and merged into English, Welsh & Scottish Railway(EWS) 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. As a result of centralization of maintenance activities by EWS to Toton TMD the shed was used only for storage of out of service locomotives.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Immingham engine shed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
