LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
Stechford: lnwrstfd2851
Ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 No 45038 is seen reversing its rake of
wagons on the down loop line on 27th March 1961. Another locomotive, British
Railways built 2MT 2-6-0 No 46423, had brought the train in and has now
proceeded out of sight into the yard. Note the strategic location of the gas
lamppost being next to the points. Built by the Vulcan Foundry as LMS No 5038
in September 1934, No 45038 was to remain in service until February 1968 when
it was withdrawn from 9B Stockport Edgeley to be scrapped by Cohens of
Kettering.
