    Ex-LNWR 3P 4-4-0 Precursor class No 5292 'Medusa' is seen blowing off steam at the West end of Platform 2 whilst at the head a down express. Built by Crewe works as LNWR No 366 in May 1905 it was renumbered by the LMS as No 5292 in July 1926 and again sometime in 1934 when as No 25292 it was placed on the duplicate list, the number it carried until April 1945 when it was withdrawn from service to be cut up by Crewe works shortly afterwards.

    In this undated photo, Walter A. Peters records the Alton's Pacific No. 5294 and her short train of mostly head-end cars, probably a local. This view shows the post-modernization appearance of the P-16 class, including the air pump shielding above the pilot. Although No. 5294 was never reclassified to P-16B, it is likely that all members of the P-16 group were eventually brought up to modernized P-16B specifications. Judging by the tender lettering, which appears to predate the GM&O merger, the time frame is around 1945-46.

    5295 at Maryport requires the help of a large crane to get the locomotive back on the rails. Taken sometime during the 1970's.
    Despite a lengthy career of twenty one years and four months the allocations for D5295/25145 all belonged to a variety of London Midland Region depots.

    Built: BR Derby Locomotive Works.
    Dual brake equipped (April 1977?).
    Time between last Classified repair and withdrawal: 104 months.
    Time between withdrawal & scrapping: 16 months.

    Just seconds before it became derailed at the turnout providing access to the whole of the washery and tar works complex, 'Amazon' (Vulcan Foundry works No.5297 built in 1945) was caught shunting British Steel Co. Workington Iron and Steel Works internal wagons on the access line to the tar works and loco shed, where they were placed to await collection. They had been brought up to the Harrington Coal Preparation Plant by two British Steel fleet Yorkshire Engine Co. diesel locomotives, via the Lowca Light Railway and they would return loaded, up to eight at a time, to Workington Steelworks. Harrington Coal Preparation Plant, Lowca, Cumbria, 22nd June 1972.

    5305 was built by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1936.
    It spent most of its career based in North-West England.
    After nationalisation in 1948, British Railways renumbered it as 45305.
