‘King’ 4-6-0 No 6020 ‘King Henry IV’ pauses with an express in 1951. The station is on a gentle curve with a lattice footbridge - where could it be? The locomotive is in spotless blue BR livery and working off 84A Stafford Road shed. It was the first of the last batch of 10 built, in 1930, received a double chimney in August 1956 and was withdraw in July 1962. The first coach of this train is an ex LMS vehicle and different from the rest of the rake.
