Coundon Road Station: lnwrcr37
Ex-LMS 4-6-0 'Stanier Black 5' No 44915 is seen coasting
through the station at the head of an express working to Coventry. Built at
Crewe works in December 1945, No 44915 remained in service until December 1967
when it was withdrawn from Lostock Hall shed. The volume of locomotives being
withdrawn in the last years was so great it exceeded the capacity of the
country's scrap metal merchants and therefore No 44915 remained in store until
October 1968 when it was finally cut up for scrap by TW Ward Ltd of
Beighton.
