Manchester Victoria station 8th June 1968

Manchester Victoria station 8th June 1968
Manchester Victoria station and Black 5 4-6-0 45076 stands on the banker's road waiting to give a push to the next freight train up the I in 47 max. gradient to Miles Platting.

The atmosphere of a large UK city station with steam was still a daily reality back in early June 1968 but by the end of June the last Manchester sheds at Newton Heath & Patricroft were closed to steam.

Robert Swanson, Nautilus, Erhard Bernstein, Tractacus have particularly liked this photo
