LMS Route: The Shakespeare Route

Kineton Station: smjk199

The driver of ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 No 44587 drifts towards signalman holding the staff from Fenny Compton to Kineton

The driver of ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 No 44587 drifts towards signalman holding the staff from Fenny Compton to Kineton whilst the signalman stands holding the single line staff for the next section from Kineton to Stratford. When the exchange has been completed the driver will then open up the regulator and the freight train will be clearly heard some distance as he gathers pace to continue his journey. Built at Derby works in September 1939, No 44587 will remain in service until May 1965 when it will be withdrawn from 9L Buxton shed to be scrapped.
