<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>The <a href="North_Eastern_Railway_(United_Kingdom)" title="North Eastern Railway (United Kingdom)">North Eastern Railway</a> was an enthusiastic and relatively early adopter of <a href="Railway_electrification_in_Great_Britain" title="Railway electrification in Great Britain">electric traction</a> for railways. As part of a 1902 scheme to electrify the suburban railway networks in the <a href="Tyneside" title="Tyneside">Tyneside</a> area, the NER's Chief Mechanical Engineer, <a href="Wilson_Worsdell" title="Wilson Worsdell">Wilson Worsdell</a>, also wished to electrify the <a href="Newcastle_Quayside_Branch" title="Newcastle Quayside Branch">Newcastle Quayside Branch</a>; a <span class="frac"><span class="num">3</span>⁄<span class="den">4</span></span>-mile (1.2 km), <a href="Horseshoe_curve" title="Horseshoe curve">horseshoe-shaped</a> freight line that went from Trafalgar Yard in <a href="Manors_railway_station" title="Manors railway station">Manors</a> to <a href="Newcastle_Quayside" class="mw-redirect" title="Newcastle Quayside">Newcastle Quayside Yard</a>. Passing through three <a href="Tunnel" title="Tunnel">tunnels</a>, this line had <a href="Grade_(slope)" title="Grade (slope)">gradients</a> as steep as 1:27 (<a href="Percent_sign" title="Percent sign">3.70 %</a>) and a number of sharp curves: it presented a formidable challenge for steam traction. Working conditions inside the tunnels were atrocious because the locomotives had to work exceptionally hard to manage the gradients which meant they produced vast quantities of choking fumes that could not disperse from the tunnels; the sparks they produced were a constant fire risk to the flammable packing materials in the yards. Electrification was the obvious answer.

</p><p>The specification for new electric locomotives demanded that they be able to start a train of 150 tons on the steepest gradient, while on the level they were expected to be able to haul 300 long tons (305 t; 336 short tons) at 14 mph (23 km/h). The end-to-end journey on the branch was to be completed in 4.5 minutes.

</p>

<p>In 1900, <a href="General_Electric" title="General Electric">General Electric</a> (GE) and <a href="Thomson-Houston" class="mw-redirect" title="Thomson-Houston">Thomson-Houston</a> designed and built <a href="Steeplecab" title="Steeplecab">steeplecab</a>-type locomotive for the <a href="Ferrovie_Nord_Milano" title="Ferrovie Nord Milano">Milan-Varese</a> railway in Italy, electrified at 650 <a href="Volt" title="Volt">V</a> <a href="Direct_current" title="Direct current">DC</a> using the <a href="Third_rail" title="Third rail">third rail</a> system. That railway opened in 1901, and the locomotive design proved successful. The North Eastern Railway's ES1s were derived from that American design, although they were designed from the start for both third rail and overhead operation: the Newcastle Quay branch used both systems—third rail in the tunnels, and <a href="Overhead_lines" class="mw-redirect" title="Overhead lines">overhead lines</a> on the rest of the line.

</p><p>A contract was signed with the British Thomson-Houston company on 15 December 1902, for delivery by the end of the following year. British Thomson-Houston sub-contracted the mechanical parts to <a href="Brush_Traction" title="Brush Traction">Brush Electrical Engineering Co.</a>

</p><p>The electrified line was operational from 5 June 1905, and in the following year both locomotives performed exceptionally well. In 1906, they were fitted with electric heaters, the men having complained they were too cold on wintry mornings. A few years later, the <a href="Bow_collector" title="Bow collector">bow collectors</a> originally fitted on their bonnets were removed and a <a href="Pantograph" title="Pantograph">pantograph</a> installed on the roof instead. With few other changes, they remained in operation until the line was de-electrified and they were replaced with diesel locomotives on 29 February 1964.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The line was closed five years later.

</p><p>Early photographs show the locomotives with "CLASS ELECTRIC 1" painted on the <a href="Headstock_(rolling_stock)" title="Headstock (rolling stock)">bufferbeams</a>, but this does not appear in official records.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHoole19889_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHoole19889-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In common with other LNER electric locomotives, no classification was given to these locomotives until 4 October 1945, when Nos. 1 and 2 were classified ES1 (Electric Shunting 1).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBoddyFryHenniganHoole199090_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBoddyFryHenniganHoole199090-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> No. 1 exchanged numbers with <a href="GNR_Classes_D2_and_D3" title="GNR Classes D2 and D3">Class D3</a> steam locomotive No. 4075 on 30 September 1944, but after the steam locomotive was again renumbered (to no. 2000), the electric locomotive was able to resume its original number on 24 October 1944.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBoddyFryHenniganHoole199091_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBoddyFryHenniganHoole199091-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On 14 June 1946, Nos. 1 and 2 were renumbered to 6480/1; and under <a href="British_Railways" class="mw-redirect" title="British Railways">British Railways</a>, they became Nos. 26500/1 in April 1948.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBoddyFryHenniganHoole199091_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBoddyFryHenniganHoole199091-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
