LNER 4-6-0 Class B17/4 No 2848 'Arsenal' roars across Staverton Road on a down express in June 1939. A number of this class were named after famous football clubs which gave the class the nickname the 'footballers'. Built by Darlington works in March 1936 No 2848 was renumbered No 1648 by the LNER in 1946 and again by British Railways post 1948 as No 61648 which it retained until it was withdrawn from Stratford shed in December 1958.
