LMS Hughes 2-6-0 'Crab' No 13173 waits it turn to be turned on Rugby's turntable by the GC bridge on 13th August 1930. One of a class of 245 locomotives No 13173 was quickly renumbered as No 2873 as part of the LMS' new system of locomotive numbering to accommodate the introduction of large numbers of LMS standard type locomotives. Built at Crewe works in May 1930 No 13173 remained in service until withdrawn in September 1963.
