A view taken at Barkston South where the line to Lincoln branches off from the ECML. No 60013 'Dominion of New Zealand' is carefully approaching the junction from the south, entering the diversionary route on 27th May 1956. The train is obviously travelling very slowly which has enabled the photographer to fill the camera viewfinder. The unique whistle attached to this engine can clearly be seen as being quite different from the Crosby design fitted to most of the other A4s. When No 60013 was withdrawn the whistle was sent to the Festiniog Railway for use on one of their engines, but before it could be fitted, it was stolen from their workshops and was never recovered. The same fate befell No 60010's also unique whistle.
