5045 1949-02 Bristol

5045 1949-02 Bristol

GWR Castle class 4-6-0 No 5045 Earl of Dudley at Bristol Temple Meads in February 1949.
Peter Kerslake says "5045 bears the name initially carried by Dukedog 3202 (later 9002) until late 1937. From newly built in March 1936 it was named Bridgwater Castle. In 1949 5045 was allocated to Old Oak Common so this is probably a Paddington bound working. Later years took 5045 to Wolverhampton Stafford Road from where it was withdrawn in September 1962."
