Ex-Great Eastern Railway J.Holden 'T26' (LNER 'E4') class 2-4-0 No. 62792. On a murky April 1956 morning in Cambridge, 62792 makes an impressive departure southbound with a Marks Yey or Colchester service passing under Hills Road bridge. The 'E4s' were the last 2-4-0s to run in Britain. In 1959 (and thankfully) the last one was preserved, the former 62785.
