WINWICK AND BEYOND
First up are eight pics from David Quayle. This one was taken at Burrs Country Park on the ELR on 14 October 2017. Pictured is John Cameron's famous 'A4', No. 60009 Union of South Africa, on a passenger service.
The same loco is pictured next, at Bury, on the same date.
Pics numbered three and four below show Hunslet No.2890 built at Leeds in 1943 as part of the austerity 0-6-0ST programme (including LNER class J94) built by several manufacturers during World War II. The loco was delivered to the War Department for military use as No.75041. It was converted to a 0-6-0 tender engine at the Mid Hants Railway but is now owned by the Ribble Steam Railway. It returned to steam following its last overhaul in September this year.
On the left No.2890 is pictured double heading with No.52322 with a passenger service at Burrs; and on the right No.2890 is shown at Ramsbottom, heading another passenger service. Both pics are dated 14 October 2017. No.52322 is a class 27 0-6-0 tender, freight locomotive designed by John Aspinall for the L&YR in 1896.
