Nick Catford] The Linton Road entrance to Collingham Bridge station in May 1959. The train is probably a special waiting to depart for Wetherby to pick up race-goers at the end of the day. No.44070 is displaying a class C headcode for empty stock. The loco is a Fowler-designed 4F built for the LMS by North British Loco Co in 1925 which entered service in the November that year. It had a service life of over 36 years when it was withdrawn from 18D, Staveley (Barrow Hill) in mid 1962 and was scrapped
