Over the Valley
Seen departing Highley with a train to Kidderminster is GWR 1500 Class 0-6-0PT No. 1501, the last survivor of a class of 10 locomotives which plied their trade across the Great Western Railway network.
Built in 1949, the 10 loco fleet of 1500 Class engines had a relatively short lifespan, with all withdrawn from British Railways operation by 1963, with their comparatively heavy design being the cause of their less than adequate route availability.
1501 and classmates 1502 and 1509 escaped the cutters torch in 1963 when they were sold to the National Coal Board (NCB) for continued work near Kilmarnock in Scotland. Eventually, these little engines were retired in 1970, two years after steam on the BR network had ceased in August 1968.
All three of these engines were preserved by the Severn Valley Railway, but 1501 was deemed the most suitable for restoration, and thus 1502 and 1509 were sourced as spares before they were finally scrapped once all useful parts had been salvaged.
Today, 1501 plies its merry trade up and down this wonderful line, a faithful engine that forms the mainstay of the SVR's steam fleet.
Taken at Highley, Shropshire, England.
