Ex-LMS 5XP 4-6-0 No 45561 'Saskatchewan' and British
Railways built 2MT 2-6-0 No 46446 are seen in Rugby's sidings on 15th September
1962. As both locomotives are fully coaled its most probable that they have
just ran through Rugby using the bidirectional engine line between the shed and
the sidings. By the early 1960s many of the Jubilee locomotives were being used
for non-passenger workings as their previous roles were increasingly being
taken over by the new diesel locomotives being introduced under the 1955
Modernisation Plan. Built by the North British Locomotive Company in July 1934
No 45561 remained in service until September 1964 when it was withdrawn from
16C Derby shed. Its smaller partner, the British Railway built to a LMS design
Mogul No 46446, was built at Crewe works in March 1949 and remained in service
until December 1966 when it was withdrawn from 6D Shrewsbury shed.
