Ex-LMS 2-6-0 5MT 'Stanier Mogul' No 42955 is seen hauling a dead diesel locomotive on the Rugby to Leicester line

Ex-LMS 2-6-0 5MT 'Stanier Mogul' No 42955 is seen hauling a dead diesel locomotive on the Rugby to Leicester line in the 1960s. The crew can be seen learning out of the window for this posed photograph. John Kirby, the photographer writes, 'I do not know nor can I remember the driver's name but the fireman was George Porter, another resident of the Hostel where I lived. I am also not too sure of the location. I just remember we were on the Rugby to Leicester line'. Built as LMS No 2955 by Crewe works in December 1933, No 42955 was to remain in service until April 1967 when it was withdrawn from 9F Heaton Mersey shed to be scrapped by Bird's of Long Marston.

John would welcome the chance to put names to faces and especially being able to meet up with former mates. Please use our guest book to contact us.
