4174 1950s Aller Junction

4174 1950s Aller Junction

The banker about to back onto another Down freight

My old 1956 shedbook has 4174 alllocated to 85B , which was Gloucester Horton Road , but it came to the West Country in June 1956 as she's now based at Newton Abbot , one of a number used by that Depot mainly for various freight duties , including banking freights to Dainton summit .
In this view 4174 is running down from Newton Abbot shed and station area to Aller Junction and is actually on the " down " Kingswear line , but if she is going to assist a freight up from the loop at the bottom of Dainton then she will be crossing over on to the Plymouth bound line when she reaches Aller Junction , just ahead .
