marshalling yards with a down Class K working circa 1962. Class K workings were
comprised Pick-up, branch freight, mineral or ballast trains on a short haul

1944 No 48723 was subsequently transferred to the LMS at the time of
nationalisation having been allocated the North Eastern division number No
