Close up of image 'mrspk342' showing LMS 'Stanier' 2-6-4T No
2482 on the 1.45 pm Saturdays Only Walsall to Birmingham train. Trains from
Walsall to Birmingham would normally stop at this platform, being on the
through line, rather than the opposite platform on the island structure as seen
in image 'mrspk341'.
Number 2482 lasted in service just a little longer than
fellow 4MT class mate No 42448 seen in image 'mrspk341' being built to the same
order, Lot 128, at Derby works in February 1937 before withdrawal from Chester
in April 1965 to be scrapped by J Cashmore of Great Bridge in September
