It's the final week of steam on British Railways and the clock is inexorably ticking away at Manchester Victoria. Here on 4th August 1968. Stanier Black 5 4-6-0s No. 44871 and 44894 waits for the arrival of the Bahamas Special for a final trip across the Pennines. The former loco has been preserved and has recently returned to main line working.
