Ex-LMS 6P5F Horwich Crab' No 42798 comes off the Derby line with a Class D freight service in 1959

Ex-LMS 6P5F Horwich Crab' No 42798 comes off the Derby line with a Class D freight service in 1959. British Railways categorised a Class D service as being an 'Express freight, livestock, perishable or ballast train partly fitted with the automatic brake operative on not less than one-third of the vehicles.' Built as LMS No 13098 at Crewe works, No 42798 was renumbered by the LMS as No 2798 in October 1935 and then by British Railways as No 42798 in April 1949, which it carried until November 1963 when it was withdrawn from 20B Stourton shed to be scrapped.
