LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
Stechford: lnwrstfd2852
Ex-LMS 'Fowler Crab' 2-6-0 No 42925 is seen waiting its turn
to reverse into Stechford's goods yard on 13th April 1959. In the distance an
unidentified ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 locomotive can be seen in the process of
marshalling the wagons on the right. The Crab's working was a regular feature
at Stechford arriving by the Aston line at about 1:00 pm each day and then
departing with empties later the same day. Built as LMS No 13225 by Crewe works
in May 1931 to Lot 353, No 42925 was renumbered by the LMS as No 2925 in August
1934. Later renumbered by British Railways in June 1948, No 42925 continued in
service until November 1964 when it was withdrawn from 8A Edge Hill shed.
