The chalked message on the smokebox door says it all. The date is 1st October 1967. The very last day of steam haulage in the West Riding of Yorkshire and despite this. Holbecks Black 5 4-6-0 No. 45428 is ready to tackle the 1 in 50 Gradient out of Exchange Station with the Bradford Portion of an up express to London Kings Cross via Leeds. Bradford Exchange Station was demolished in 1976 and a modern interchange station was opened farther south.
