A massive 0-6-0 at Stratford with just a cattle wagon
Seen from the extended Up platform, from which the traffic on the Low Level lines could be seen as well - see the signals at Fork Junction and the smoke of an engine working northward, ex-GE Hill D81 class (LNER J20) 0-6-0 No. 64689 seems to be making a rather superfluous trip from the Temple Mills direction. It was built as GE No. 1284 just before Grouping in 11/22, became LNER No. 8284 (No. 4689 in 1946) and lasted until 1/61.
