44871, 08.59 Southall WCR-Castleton Hopwood GF (5Z43, 5E), Victoria bridge Former LMS Black 5 44871 is seen returning home for a New Year rest just south of Roade. Running as 5Z43, the 08.59 Southall West Coast to Castleton Hopwood (for access to East Lancashire Railway) the train ran to time for its entire journey complete with a tiny Father Christmas attached to the centre lamp. The Black 5 has seen intense use over recent months operating various charters and specials so I suspect it will be receiving a good service during the quiet period in the New Year.
