45287. Todd Lane, Preston 19 07 1968.

            50 years ago "Black Five" 4-6-0 no. 45287 is about to pass under Todd Lane road overbridge as it moves forward with a rake of civil engineers wagons which it is shunting in the yard at Lostock Hall, Preston. The coaling plant at the Loco shed is visible to the right of the tall bracket signal with the end of the shed building visible to the left.

45287 had, like many of its sisters moved around several loco sheds in the 1960's and at the time of the photograph was on the allocation at Rose Grove, Burnley. It had moved there at the beginning of July 1968 after spending about 2 months at Patricroft which had closed. It would be withdrawn from Rose Grove 2 weeks later in the first week of August 1968 when regular steam operation on BR ended. It had been built for the LMS by Armstrong Whitworth in 1936.
