I cannot believe I took this one almost ten years ago now. A scan from a medium format Agfa Scala slide. On 23rd October 2004, a 'work-worn' looking Stanier 'Black 5' No.44996 (aka 45407) approaches the former station of Cumwhinton heading a southbound charter from Carlisle, bearing a 1Z76 reporting number board above the smokebox numberplate. Yes, there is a diesel loco on the rear, but clearly not required here! © Gordon Edgar - All rights reserved. Please do not use my images without my explicit permission Cumwhinton
