British Railways built Modified Hall class No 6986 'Rydal
Hall' is seen passing Stratford on Avon East Signal Box on 16th August 1958.
The locomotive must have been working hard as it wasn't being assisted, an
unusual occurrence for Saturdays when traffic was very heavy. On the left is a
rake of non-corridor coaches stabled in the siding adjacent to the down goods
loop. Built at Swindon works to Lot 366 in March 1948 No 6986, a member of the
6959 class, remained in service until April 1965 when it was withdrawn from 81E
Didcot shed to be scrapped by Birds of Bridgend.
