Скачать

Lowerby was [originally] a small station on the GWR's mainline from Denton to Brant. After being opened in 1890, the small area grew into a major industrial hub, with industries such as a dairy and coal mine. It also included a small engine shed, and a cattle dock. It saw a small but steady decrease in traffic after nationalization, but continued to produce revenue for the railway.

The GWR's choice of worker for the small area was a 14xx Class 0-4-2, number 1430, but after nationalization in 1948. the 14xx was replaced with a 1361 Class 0-6-0, number 1364. Finally, it was replaced with a Class 03 diesel shunter until the line's bankruptcy in early 1967.

This recreation shows the route during its GWR days, specifically around 1947, when orders were in decline, but still going. However, the route did not change much between 1947 and 1959, with the exception of the goods shed on the east side of the route closing in 1956, so it can be used as a BR route if that suits your fancy.
