Linby Colliery Sidings

This view shows the 3.11pm train from Nottingham passing Linby Colliery Sidings (former Midland Railway line). By this date the remaining ex-LMS '4MT' tank engines belonged to one of 3 classes of similar appearance, each of which was prefixed with the designer's name. The train's 'headcode', the oil lamp positioned just below the engine's chimney, indicates a stopping-passenger train appropriate for this service. The withdrawal of passenger traffic on this line was imminent at this date.
