Just passing through
2,120 of these USATC S160 class 2.8.0s were built by ALCO, Baldwin and Lima for use in Europe, Aisa, Africa and elsewhere during and just after WW2. 1,200 of these passed through the UK, some being used for a period by the 'Big Four' whilst here.
1888 was built by Lima (8119/43) and is seen here working for the LNER at March North Junction on 24 July 1943. The single barrier wagon seems a little inadequate for such a long line of tankers, unless they are empties.
Scanned from a 6x6cm size negative in my collection.
