Black Five at Bescot
Sunday 9th October 1988 was a damp day for an otherwise excellent Bescot Open Day. Former LMSR 44932 was working a demonstration freight train which was actually a train of track engineers’ ballast wagons.
This locomotive was built by the London Midland & Scottish Railway at the former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Works at Horwich in 1945. It survived in service until the end of steam on British Railways in August 1968. It is preserved at the Midland Railway Centre.
