Ruston Bucyrus underground locomotive, June 1974

Description

Photograph of Samuel Rogers with his children sat in a Ruston Bucyrus underground locomotive at Gresford Colliery. The air intake on an underground locomotive had to be fire proof so that no gasses could escape into the atmosphere and create an explosion. The exhaust fumes were cooled and filtered in the box at the back of the locomotive before being released into the atmosphere to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions.
