Ex-GWR 4-4-0 Bulldog class No 3447 'Jackdaw' is seen in the
up refuge siding at the head of empty stock ready to take forward a local
passenger service for Birmingham on Saturday 24th March 1951. At the time of
the photograph No 3447 was one of four remaining 33xx class locomotives that
still survived and had only another month left before its final withdrawal,
having been taken into storage at Swindon from Neyland shed during 1948. Built
at Swindon in November 1909 No 3447 was withdrawn from Worcester shed in April
1951 to be scrapped in August 1951 at Swindon works. The last surviving pair of
the 33xx class were withdrawn in November 1951.
