The North Eastern Railway (NER) Class E, classified as Class J71 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), was a class of small 0-6-0T steam locomotive designed by T.W. Worsdell. They had inside cylinders and Stephenson valve gear and were the basis for the later NER Class E1 (LNER Class J72).

Numbering

Eighty-one of them passed into British Railways ownership in 1948 and they were numbered 68230-68316 (with gaps).

Accidents and incidents

In 1890, locomotive No. 811 was hauling a freight train when it was derailed on the Redheugh Incline, Gateshead, County Durham.[1]

gollark: I've heard of that and vaguely looked at using it, but the server stuff still seems very WIP.

gollark: Although Discord has giant servers now, so good luck leaving without missing tons of stuff!

gollark: If you want to move off Facebook you'll probably worry about losing contact with 293848 people you don't have anywhere else, if you want to move off Skype you might just have something like 5 people in a group with you.

gollark: It mostly doesn't happen unless the existing stuff is also very bad. I suspect it's also easier for somewhat purpose-specific instant messaging than for general social network stuff because the group which has to move with you is smaller and you don't have to migrate giant friend lists or something.

gollark: Even if better services *do* exist, people generally don't move to something they don't have stuff/people they know on.
