LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa394
Ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 No 44491 is acting as shunter at Stratford
Old Town during advanced works on the southern junction on 29th April 1959. The
line to Broom can be seen rising upwards and to the left to cross the former
GWR line to Honeybourne new line, the bridge of which can just be seen. The new
curve to join with this line would run to the left of the line to Broom. Built
as LMS No 4491 by the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow in December
1927, No 44491 would be renumbered as such in July 1948 and would remain in
service until October 1962 when it was withdrawn from 8B Dallam shed in
Warrington to be scrapped.
