LNER Route: Leicester to Marylebone
Rugby Central Station: gcrcs290
Ex-LNER 2-6-2 V2 No 60831 is seen standing in the up loop at
Rugby Central on a cold winters day. Built as LNER No 4802 at Darlington works
in May 1938, the locomotive was again renumbered by the LNER in November 1946
as No 831 and again by British Railways in November 1948 as No 60831 which it
retained until December 1966 when it was withdrawn from 50A York North shed to
be scrapped by Drapers of Hull. When scrapped this engine was the penultimate
member of the class withdrawn from BR service, followed later the same month by
the last, No 60836.
