9th May 1964
A youthful looking railway enthusiast is standing on Worcester Shrub Hill station's main 'down' platform on 9th May 1964 as the 1942 built Collett 0-6-0 pannier tank No.4613 stands at the head of a local train. No.4613 was a Worcester engine from new until withdrawn at the end of 1964.
9400 class pannier tank No.9490 was built at Swindon in 1954 and was based at Worcester from March 1960 until withdrawn at the end of 1964. This photograph was taken on 9th May 1964 and shows the locomotive in one of the centre roads at Worcester Shrub Hill station.
Both of these photographs were taken by Mr Derek Parsons and are used with his permission.
