1967 - Run-Down Relic..
Preserved Midland Railway 156 Class 2-4-0 No 158A - the oldest surviving Midland Railway locomotive - in poor condition, in storage at Leeds Holbeck shed, in summer 1967. The loco had been in service until 1947, when it was withdrawn for preservation.
Today, the loco is pristine, and is a static exhibit at the Midland Railway, Butterley, on loan from the National Railway Museum.
Leeds Holbeck steam shed closed down in 1967, and some of the site was later used as a diesel repair and maintenance depot.
Restored and cropped/enlarged from an unfocussed faded grainy original..
