Ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 No 45238 heads a Class H through freight past Jees Quarry sidings on the Trent Valley line circa 1960. In the distance on the left is Hartshill Signal Cabin whilst on the right are the sidings, full of wagons loaded with stone, which led to Jees premises. Built as LMS No 5238 by the Armstrong Whitworth Company in September 1936, No 45238 received its British Railways number in November 1948 which it retained until February 1966 when it was withdrawn from 5B Crewe South shed to be scrapped by J Cashmore's of Great Bridge.
