Stanier 'Princess Coronation' Pacific at Shrewsbury
View northwards, towards Crewe and Chester. A run from Crewe was normal for locomotives running-in when new or after repairs at Crewe Works. Here is a resplendent 'Duchess', No. 46235 'City of Birmingham' freshly repaired: it was built at Crewe in 7/39 as a 'streamliner', de-streamlined in 4/46 and withdrawn in 10/64, but preserved and now resides in the Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry.
