In the mid-1960's Stanier Jubilee 45593 Kolhapur is stabled in the sidings at Leeds Holbeck (55A). The loco had been transferred from Newton Heath to Holbeck in March 1965 and would be one of the last two Jubilees to remain in active service, being withdrawn in October 1967. The loco was preserved and is currently at Tysley awaiting overhaul. The other three preserved Jubilees 45596, 45690 and 45699 are all currently working on the mainline.

It's 'top 'n' tailing' with Stanier LMS 'Black 5' Class 4-6-0 5428 just visible at the front of the train. These trains were able to leave the confines of the depot in those days and venture out onto a B.R. siding that extended under the road bridge.

About Kushti : - Kushti (Indian Wrestling) is a popular game at Kolhapur. In this south-eastern Indian city, Kushti has a long tradition. It used to be supported by local maharajas. Some of the Kings were themselves, good wrestlers. This game flourished here during the reign of Shri Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj, the King of Kolhapur, who ascended the throne in 1894.
During this golden age, the monarch built hundreds of Akhadas all over the city and held tournaments, inviting best wrestlers from all over India and beyond.
Wrestlers wake ups at 3:30 AM in the morning. They practice six times a week more than 6 hours every day. They live together in one small room above the arena and their only belongings are a blanket, few items of clothes and some books about the art of Kushti.
Stanier Jubilee 45593 Kolhapur is stabled on Doncaster Shed (36A) on 17 April 1966. This was the month that the shed closed to steam and lost its allocation, but steam engines from the West Yorkshire sheds would continue to visit Doncaster for at least another year. 45593 was allocated to Leeds Holbeck (55A) and was the penultimate Jubilee to survive, being withdrawn in October 1967 and subsequently preserved. It is currently the only one of four preserved Jubilees not available to work mainline tours.
