Ex-LMS 5XP 4-6-0 Patriot class No 45506 The Royal Pioneer Corps' is seen departing the West end of Platform 6 at the head of a Wolverhampton express on 7th June 1952. Notionally rebuilt from a LNWR Claughton class locomotive by Crewe works in July 1932, No 45506 was named in recognition of the Corp's work during the Second World War at a ceremony at Euston in September 1948. As with many LMS 4-6-0 express locomotives No 45506's principal duties were taken over in the early 1960s by diesels and it was withdrawn in February 1962 from Barrow shed in Bristol to be scrapped in March 1962 by Crewe works.
