D313 1961c Stafford

English Electric �Type 4� No.D313 in the early 1960s on the Up Fast passing the erecting shop of the Castle Works of W.G.Bagnall Limited, the self-proclaimed �Builders of Locomotives for the World�s Railways�. It was one of the smaller British locomotive manufacturers who built mostly industrial locomotives. although they did produce some �Jinties� for the LMS in the late 1920s and some �94xx� Pannier tanks for the Western Region in the early 1950s . The turnout and crossover in front of the �Type 4� are for the junction with the ex-Great Northern Railway line to Uttoxeter which closed as a through route on 5th March 1951, although a stub survived to serve the RAF Stafford 16 Maintenance Unit, closing in December 1975.
