LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa173
Ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 No 44188 stands at the head of a SLS Special
at Stratford Old Town station on 24th April 1965. The tour was run to mark the
closure of the Stratford-upon-Avon & Midland Junction Railway line. The
tour started at Birmingham Snow Hill headed by ex-GWR No 6435 and ex-LMS No
44188 and ran via the North Warwickshire Line to Stratford on Avon Racecourse
Junction where No 6435 was detached so that No 44188 could traverse the SMJ
line to Woodford Halse by itself before reversing the journey back to Stratford
on Avon. At the racecourse junction No 6435 was reattached and the train
proceeded back to Snow Hill station.
