Ex-LMS 4-6-2 No 46251 City of Nottingham runs light engine past Rugby Station Signal Cabin

Ex-LMS 4-6-2 No 46251 City of Nottingham runs light engine past Rugby Station Signal Cabin. The locomotive was obviously involved in one of the many special excursions that ran over the line in the last few years before closure. Built by Crewe works in June 1944, No 46251 was to remain in service until September 1964 when it was withdrawn from 5A Crewe North shed to be scrapped by J Cashmore of Great Bridge.
