5047 1961-08-20 Chester

5047 Earl of Dartmouth seen here at Chester Midland shed had been a Wolverhampton Stafford Road engine since 1957 and hence would have worked to Chester quite often. The "X" on the rather large and unusual headboard denotes a Special Working. The former GWR shed was being re-built as a DMU depot so unable to service steam at the time. 5047 was withdrawn the following year 1962.
