82009 at Coalport
82009 of Shrewsbury shed trundles into Coalport Station on the Severn Valley Line. The station, although pleasant, has a neglected air to it when Peter took this picture on 25th July 1959.
82009 was a Riddles 2-6-2 Standard class 3 tank that was built at Swindon 13/06/1952 and sent to Tyseley, it was unpopular and soon moved on, the loco was withdrawn 05/11/1966. With a new loco of the same class under construction on the SVR we will again witness one of these locos alongside the River Severn.
