Carlisle Kingmoors celebrity Class 40, the erstwhile D200 aka 40122, on Workington depots holding sidings, behind the station. Untill withdrawal in the late 80s this loco worked to Workington 6, days a week (when not working enthusiast specials somewhere else), with the first freight train of the day, working a train back to Kingmoor Yard, then Working a trip freight from Kingmoor to Appleby, and, back calling at Blea Moor S.B. with fresh water supplies. The loco was in pristine condition when surrendered to the tender ministrations of the N.R.M. It is now in a deplorable condition languishing at the back of a shed.
