| Remarks & Notes |
| The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Class 27 is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed for freight work. No 1300 (later LMS 12322 and BR 52322) was built at Horwich Works in 1896. Designed by John Aspinall, it is a tribute to the soundness usefulness and simple practicality of his design that some 300 of the class passed into the hands of the LMS and around 50 were still in British Railways service as late as the summer of 1960. Here we see the loco on the Ribble Steam Railway crossing the swing bridge at the entrance to Preston Docks, with a lock in the foreground. 118 years young! |
