Ex-LNWR 2F 0-6-2T 'Coal Tank' No 58916 is seen shunting
coaching stock on the middle road between Platforms 3 and 4 whilst on pilot
duties on 15th May 1948. Allocated to Monument Lane and having just acquired
its new British Railways number, No 58916 was built at Crewe as LNWR No 417 in
October 1886 before becoming LMS No 7759 and then No 27519 when it was added to
the duplicate list. Its long working life was however very near to its end
because in October 1950 it was withdrawn from Abergavenny shed to be scrapped
by Crewe works.
