LNWR 2-4-0 Precedent class No 5062 'Sir Alexander Cockburn', built July 1896 and scrapped February 1932, double heads LNWR Claughton class No 5967 'Lance Corporal JA Christie VC' on a down express north of Rugby.

Steve Weston, who works with Network Rail (and is also LNWR Society Newsletter Editor) writes, "this was taken from Bridge 9B. On the left are the Webb Standard railway cottages (Fog Cottages) the footbridge is Bridge 9A. Bridge 9B replaced an earlier level crossing which I believe went across the bottom of the rear gardens of Fog Cottages. Footbridge 9A is still a popular location for railway photography. C1928
