Ex-LNWR 0-8-0 'Super D' No 49439' is seen at the head of of
a northbound freight as it passes the down refuge loop and munitions sidings on
the right on 24th June 1961. Both the munition sidings and Daimler sidings in
the distance are now overgrown with only the passing loop remaining in
operational condition. Built as LNWR No 36 by Crewe works in April 1922, No
49439 remained in service until December 1962 when it was withdrawn from Buxton
shed to be scrapped in May 1963 by Crewe works. At some stage No 49439 has
acquired a tender with a cab which whilst not perfect offered crews some
comfort when running tender first.
