Toton Newbie

Hello I’ve been a member for a while but this is my first post. I am currently building a website about Toton Sidings and wondered if any members have any memories or photographs they would like to share. I worked in the yards from 1975 - 2000 and was a steadier on both the upside and downside when the yards were fully operational and hump shunting was still in progress. I dread to think what todays Health and Safety would have to say about the old working practices that were carried out on a daily basis. I hope there are a few Toton Rabbits out there.
All the best

Tony

Hello Tony and welcome to the forum. I have quite a few 1980's photos of trains passing Toton yard.
Here's a couple from my gallery:

Hello Tony and welcome to the Railway Forum. Sorry I don't have any photos for you as I have never been to the yard.
