BR (ex SR) loco No. 32556 @ Ocean Terminal, Southampton Docks - c1961

            An old photograph (2" x 2") of British Railways steam engine No. 32556 at the Ocean Terminal in Southampton Docks. The other photos in this group are c1961 so this was probably taken in the year it was withdrawn.

There is no date or photographer name on the photo reverse.

32556 was a R. Billinton designed 'Radials class' 0-6-2T engine built at the Brighton Works and new to the Southern Railway (SR) in Jan 1901 carrying No. 2556. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, becoming British Railways (BR), the engine renumbered 32556 in Nov 1950. It was withdrawn from service in Oct 1961 and scrapped the same month.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
