LMS 4-6-2 Streamlined Coronation Scot class No 6236 'City of Bradford' passes Newbold water troughs on a down express

Seen in the last days of peace, August 1939, LMS 4-6-2 Streamlined Coronation Scot class No 6236 'City of Bradford' passes Newbold water troughs on a down express. The Streamliners could only accommodate their reporting numbers, in this instance, W101, just above the buffers. Number 6236 was built by Crewe works in July 1939 and remained in service until March 1964 when it was withdrawn from Kingmoor shed for scrapping by Crewe works in April 1964.
