LNER Route: Leicester to Marylebone

Braunston & Willoughby: gcrbw7

Ex-Great Central 4-4-2 Class C4/2 No 6094 passes through Braunston & Willoughby on an up express service circa 1928. Built as Great Central No 1094 in November 1905 the LNER first gave it the number 6094 on grouping and then allocated No 2917 in 1946. Following nationalisation in 1948 British Railways renumbered the locomotive by adding 60000 to its LNER number making it No 62917 which it carried until it was withdrawn from 40A Lincoln shed in May 1949.
