62614 1950s March

62614 1950s March

Peter Kerslake says "The pride of Kings Lynn Motive Power Depot their "Royal Claud" as she was known, namely 62614 was usually kept in pristine condition and in this view of her at March in Cambridgeshire she has certainly been well turned out.
This locomotive was regularly rostered to Royal Train duties when members of the Royal Family were travelling to, or returning from the Sandringham Estate located on the branch line from Kings Lynn to the coastal terminus at Hunstanton.
The customary van, probably for perishables, an often leading such passenger workings such as this , is coupled next to the engine."
