Class 101 DMU at Carnoustie

10th June 1982

Class 101 Driving Motor 2nd Sc50184 is awaiting departure from Carnoustie whilst working the 09:00 Arbroath – Dundee service on Thursday 10th June 1982. I had just travelled down from Arbroath in this car, in the former 1st Class section at the front, now downgraded to 2nd Class. Look at how much room there is in those seats. Sheer luxury... ...you don’t get that in a 158! Sc50184 entered service in early 1957 as E50184, a Driving Motor Composite. It was part of a 4 car set allocated to the North Eastern Region’s Darlington District for the Darlington – Saltburn service. Just emerging from Carnoustie yard is 37 188 which appears to be a light engine. In the late 1960s I spent a week’s holiday at Carnoustie. Whilst the rest of the family were on the beach, I spent most of my time standing at this level crossing watching the signalman turning the wheel which opened and closed the crossing gates and also heralded the approach of another train.
