An unidentified ex-LNWR 4-6-0 Claughton class locomotive is
seen at the head of a down express as it passes under the GC bridge. Michael
Byng writes, 'The Claughton is probably LMS No 5914, 'J Bruce Ismay' and the
picture was probably taken early in 1933, as witness the almost complete
absence of Stanier Period III coaches apart the solitary TK (Third Class
Corridor Coach) on the extreme left of the picture. The coach is probably in
LMS full livery, the lining at the waist is lower than the simple livery style.
The engine was withdrawn in December 1934'.
