the British Railways Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazetteer or one of the Railway and Commercial Gazetteers as they may show which companies owned or operated through a particular station One rigid chassis version was produced for the LMS.

This is a list of the locomotives of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway locomotive works were originally at Miles Platting, Manchester. From 1889 they were at Horwich.Although built to the same specification D59, they were differnt in several obvious ways. The first(3028) had a low rounded roof and standard hinged doors, the second(3029) had a clerestory roof and sliding doors. Layout was slight different in each. A third one was supplied just after amalgamation of LYR and LNWR, to diagram D177, very similar to the others, but being steel sided and having an eliptical roof. coach Oerlikon EMU originally built by the LNWR for the North London line and the Watford to London suburban services.

However others, such as Wennington near Lancaster, remain at least partially in tact, while some have even been restored and refurbished by volunteer groups and railway societies. Still others have been developed into byways to service keen walkers, like the former line leading to Padiham station which became the Padiham Greenway.

Before you search for records, you need to know which company the individual worked for. If you know this piece of information, go to step 2. A passenger train was derailed on 15 July 1903 at Waterloo station, then in Lancashire (now Merseyside) caused by a broken spring and spring bridle on the locomotive, while negotiating a 23-chain-radius (460m) curve at speed. Seven people were killed and 116 were injured. [14] All 155 were taken into the LMS when the railroads grouped in 1923. Retirements left only 11 for British Rail to place in class 52 in 1948.

Experience would suggest that the complication and variation wasn't worth the candle after all. Although 21 were built with the vessel, Rendell's notation to a table he submitted not 4 years later, "It is not in contemplation to build any more at present". 14 would be rebuilt with a larger boiler in 1911.

Although the class was augmented by 60 engines between 1900 and 1909 and another ten between 1917 and 1918, the last five built reverted to the original 1889 specification.

The Furness Railway built two steam railmotors. No1 and 2. Photos are rare, and mostly show no 1. Design based on published drawings and photos.

Further reading The system consisted of many branches and alternative routes, so that it is not easy to determine the location of its main line. For working purposes the railway was split into three divisions: Druitt, E. (1912). "Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway" (PDF). Board of Trade. Archived (PDF) from the original on 7 August 2016 . Retrieved 10 August 2019.The last batch of 2-4-2 radial tanks entered service in 1911 and these more moreful superheated L&YR Class 6 were allocated to run some express passenger services to some extent as the unrebuilt Hughes 4-6-0 had multiple problems and the Aspinall Atlantics were beginning to exhibit high levels of unserviceability. However the L&YR were severely censured by the Boarad of Trade in the 1912 Charlestown curve derailment inquiry report for use of large radial tanks on high speed passenger services but despite protestations reputational damage seems to have resulted and the practice somewhat discontinued.

His locomotives included the ‘Dreadnought’ 4-6-0 express engines, an 0-8-2T design for banking duties, and the useful railmotors for branch line work. Much of his effort went into developing more powerful versions of Aspinall designs using Belpaire fireboxes and superheating. Mangnall created United's first successful side with a series of signings, eventually winning promotion in 1906. They finished second overall and reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, beating holders Aston Villa (one of the most successful English teams of that era) 5–1 in the fifth round. Among these signings was Billy Meredith, a legendary winger who is regarded by many as the greatest player of that era.
