LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa324
Ex-GWR 2-8-0 No 2851 pauses at the now derelict Stratford
Old Town station in 1961 with a long train of 'flats'. The fireman is taking
the opportunity to trim the coal in the tender which would indicate that the
locomotive hasn't travelled too far since starting its journey. Built by
Swindon works in February 1913, No 2851 was to remain in service until June
1963 when it was withdrawn from 81C Southall shed to be scrapped by J
Cashmore's of Newport.
