Ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 No 45038 is seen reversing its rake of wagons on the down loop line on 27th March 1961

Ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 No 45038 is seen reversing its rake of wagons on the down loop line on 27th March 1961. Another locomotive, British Railways built 2MT 2-6-0 No 46423, had brought the train in and has now proceeded out of sight into the yard. Note the strategic location of the gas lamppost being next to the points. Built by the Vulcan Foundry as LMS No 5038 in September 1934, No 45038 was to remain in service until February 1968 when it was withdrawn from 9B Stockport Edgeley to be scrapped by Cohens of Kettering.
