LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

E&WJR and SMJ - Locomotives and Rolling Stock: smjsa239

Ex-E&WJR 2-4-0T No 5, in its SMJ livery, standing on the road outside Stratford upon Avon shed

Ex-E&WJR 2-4-0T No 5, in its SMJ livery, standing on the road outside Stratford upon Avon shed. Given a power class rating of 'c', these locomotives were more than able to handle the relatively light loads of the E&WJR's passenger services. Although the deep overhang made them unsteady for bunker first running, they did prove useful for the line often working three E&WJR four-wheel coaches plus up to five GCR eight-wheel coaches between Stratford upon Avon and Byfield.
