Birmingham New Street Station

LNWR Locomotives: lnwrbns_pg457

LNWR 0-6-0 Special DX Goods No 3515 has just marshalled express passenger stock at the West end of Platform 2 at New Street station. The heavy timber framing to the left of the locomotive and the ironwork partly seen above indicates that the photograph was taken during the 1906-7 period when the roof was strengthened. Built in January 1867 as LNWR DX 0-6-0 No 461 it was later rebuilt as Special DX Goods engine in July 1897 and then renumbered as No 3515 on the duplicate list in November 1900 to be scrapped in November 1907 at Crewe works. My thanks to Harry Jack and Ted Talbot for the latter information.
