An unidentified rebuilt ex-LMS 4-6-0 'Royal Scot' class locomotive passes Hillmorton Sidings on an up Class C working circa 1960. British Railways categorised a Class C working as 'Parcels, fish, fruit, horse, livestock, meat, milk, pigeon or perishable train composed entirely of vehicles conforming to coaching stock requirements. Express freight, livestock, perishable or ballast train piped fitted throughout with the automatic brake operative on not less than half of the vehicles. Empty coaching stock train (not specifically authorised to carry 'A' headcode)'. To the right of the locomotive are the lines to Northampton which started to move away from the main Euston lines after being parallel for some distance after leaving Rugby. See image 'lnwrrm3367' for a 1939 Ordnance Survey map of Hillmorton sidings.
