Ex-MR 4F 0-6-0 No 43853 leaves Stratford Old Town with a Class 6 service bound for Blisworth in the very early 1960s. British Railways classified a Class 6 service as being a 'through freight train, or ballast train conveying workmen and running not less than 15 miles without stopping'. Built at Derby works in 1918, No 43853 was to remain in service until June 1963 when it was withdrawn from 82F Bath Green shed to be scrapped.
