Came across this in a website about Thurston station.
26/11/1846 Ipswich to Bury St.Edmunds special train (inauguration of the Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds Railway) of 5 carriages hauled by EUR No.4 2-2-2 "Bury St.Edmunds".
07/12/1846 Shoreditch to Bury St.Edmunds special formed of two unspecified locos (Stratford 37s? not), 17 carriages and 1 open truck (for the buffer lickers?).
Do these count? |
