Newcastle Central
SLPF special at Newcastle in June 1965 behind St Margarets A3 no 60052 Prince Palatine. The train is preparing to head for Carlisle then on to Edinburgh via the Waverley route. Unfortunately the Pacific ran a hot axlebox bearing and was removed at Carlisle, where 60027 was pressed into service see image 30944. 60052 was eventually withdrawn from 64A in January 1966 as the last A3 in BR service. The locomotive was cut up at McLellans yard, Langloan, on 20 June 1966.
