Remarks & Notes |
Caledonian Railway 828 & LMS 47406 double-head a train from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth towards Bewdley during the Severn Valley Railways Spring Gala Weekend. The Caledonian Railway 812 and 652 Classes were 0-6-0 steam tender locomotives designed by John F. McIntosh for the Caledonian Railway and introduced in 1899. They were nicknamed "Jumbos" and they could reach speeds of up to 55 miles per hour. Locomotive 828 (LMS 17566, BR 57566) is the sole survivor of the class and is an important example of Scottish industrial heritage. It is based at the Strathspey Railway. It was returned to regular service in 2010 and then again in March 2017 following heavy repairs |
