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No 44587 will remain in service until May 1965 when it will be withdrawn from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.
