GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Shirley Station: gwrsh490
GWR 4-4-0 County class No 3816 'County of Leicester' is seen
on an up express to Birmingham as it passes under Haslucks Green bridge shortly
before being withdrawn. The locomotive is passing over the crossover from the
up to the down line and has just passed the refuge siding that existed off the
up line located the other side of the road bridge. Built at Swindon works in
December 1906 No 3816 had at one time been paired with the tender of the GWR's
only pacific locomotive, the 'Great Bear'. Remaining in service until September
1931, No 3816 was withdrawn from Swindon shed to be scrapped at Swindon
works.
