LMS Route: Rugby to Tamworth

Tamworth Station: lnwr_tam3124

Ex-LMS 4-6-2 8P No 46247 'City of of Liverpool' approaches the north end of Tamworth on 17th May 1948. Built in streamlined form by Crewe works in September 1943, No 46247 has had its streamlining removed by the time this photograph was taken but still retains the sloping smokebox, the latter giving the de-streamlined members of the class the nickname 'semis'. The locomotive remained in service for 19 years 9 months being withdrawn in June 1963 from 12A Kingmoor shed in Carlisle.
