| Description |
English: Leicester (London Midland) Locomotive Depot. View NW across the Locomotive Yard and main line to the Goods Station, with Engine Shed Sidings signalbox over on the right: the recently (1945) rebuilt Shed was to the right, London Road Station to the left. The Depot (coded 15C in the Wellingborough District) was large, with an allocation in 1954 of 74 locomotives, comprising 11 4-6-0s, 12 4-4-0s, 7 2-8-0s, 2 2-6-0s, 27 0-6-0s, 1 4-4-2T, 5 2-6-4Ts, 3 2-6-2Ts and 6 0-6-0Ts. These covered much of the passenger and freight work in and around Leicester and on the LMR lines radiating from there, also a number of duties on the main London St Pancras - Sheffield route. (The photograph features 0-6-0s Nos. 43710 and 44522 with 4-6-0s Nos. 44853 and 45137 in the third row). The Depot closed to steam on 13/6/65, but remained in use by Diesels for some years. |
