BR (ex LMS) class 5MT (Black Five) loco No. 44916 @ Sheffield Midland by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: A photograph of locomotive No. 44916 at Sheffield Midland station. The photo is stuck in a old rail enthusiast album, unfortunately there is no date or photographer name, but they do appear to date from early/mid 1960s. No. 44916 was a W. Stanier designed class 5MT (Black Five), 4-6-0 engine, built at the Crewe Works and new to the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) in Dec 1945, carrying No. 4916. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, becoming British Railways (BR), engine No. 4916 became No. 44916. The locomotive was withdrawn from service by BR in Dec 1967, then scrapped in February of the following year. If there are any errors in the above description please let me know.
