Description
The three major companies which came together to form Southern Railway, the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, the South Eastern and Chatham, and the London and South Western, all contributed to the pool of locomotive stock designed specifically for freight traffic, thought it later built some engines to its own standard designs. Seen here is an LBSC C3, an SECR O1, and an LSWR 0395. All three of these engines were used on lighter freight duties that the S15s, Qs, Q1s ('Charlies') and Maunsell Moguls weren't employed on. Only one of these classes survives today, SECR number 65 (BR 31065) on the Bluebell Railway and is currently in operating condition.
