With Crewe North shed in the background. Most photos of WR steam here are under the wires.
View NW from the footbridge leading into the Depot. 4986 'Aston Hall' (built 1/31, withdrawn 5/62) is passing on the Down Through No. 1 line. At this time ex GWR locomotives, which worked into Crewe on the line from Wellington via Nantwich were normally serviced at Gresty Lane Depot to the SW of Crewe station, but this one seems to be visiting the LMS (ex-LNW) Crewe North Depot.
