1964 - Fowler 4P at the Junction
LMS Fowler 4P 2-6-4T 42411 at Sowerby Bridge station, in April 1964, with the Halifax Railfans & Pennine Railway Society 'The South Yorkshireman No.2' railtour. The loco hauled the train as far as Huddersfield, where A3 60051 ''Blink Bonny'' took over:

A BR 'Calder Valley' DMU (later Class 110) is just visible in the station, on the right.
42411 has its LMS number - 2411 - hand-painted just abover the front bufferbeam..
It was withdrawn in August 1964, and scrapped three months after that. None of the class were preserved..
Today, the station on the right is smaller, and 'unstaffed', and the tracks to the left have all gone.
Restored from an unfocussed, grainy, pink colour-shifted original..
Original slide - photographer unknown.
