LMS Route: Water Orton to Walsall

Sutton Park Station: mrspk341b

Close up of image 'mrspk341' showing ex-LMS 4MT 2-6-4T No 42448 running bunker first on a train to New Street station. Whilst still carrying the initials LMS on its tank sides the number has had a 4 inserted prior to its LMS running number meaning the photograph was taken after the railways were nationalised on 1st January 1948. Built at Derby works to Lot 128 in June 1936 No 42448 remained in service until January 1962 when it was withdrawn from Trafford Park shed.
