London & North Eastern Railway Stafford to Uttoxeter line. Prior to 1923 this had been owned by the Great Northern Railway who bought it from the original company in 1881. The line closed to regular passenger services on 4.12.39. The 1938 1:10560 appears to show this incorrectly as owned by the LMSR.

If you look closely you can see people on Doxey Road Bridge leaning over to look at the LMS passenger train as it passed under them. Unfortunately I cant make out the Engine number. |

The locomotive may be one of Sir William Stanier's 'Black Five' 4-6-0s. They were first introduced in 1934 so it is possible that this engine was virtually new when this shot was taken |
