Tamworth on the fast line - a photo on Flickriver

Tamworth on the fast line

            I think the front loco is an LNWR 'Newton' from the 1860s or 1870s, rebuilt into an 'Improved Precedent' near the end of the 19th century. It may be loco number 1173. The second is a 4-4-0, could be a Precursor class, rather newer than the 2-4-0.

The location is Tamworth Station, the train travelling north on the fast with the high level line in the background. For its time, perhaps 1910s, the negative is really good quality, I think the camera had shutter blinds moving upwards, hence the front loco leaning to the left.
