Former Southern Railway Lines

Pictures taken on the former Southern Railway lines, apart from those with their own dedicated gallery such as the Isle of Wight lines. From the last days of steam to more recent times, oldest photos first.

From the Geoff Plumb Collection of original slides. Maunsell L1 class 4-4-0 No. 31782 was built in April 1926, North British No. 23363, it was withdrawn in February 1961 from 70A Nine Elms MPD and scrapped at Ashford Works in May 1961. It is carrying a 74A shedcode plate - Ashford MPD - but this changed to 73F in October 1958... The loco is facing "Schools" class 4-4-0 No. 30933 "King's Canterbury" and is ahead of D1 class 4-4-0 No. 31487. They are standing on the scrap line at Ashford Works during an RCTS visit on Sunday 19th March 1961. Photographer unknown, but possibly E.A.S. Cotton. Collect Slide No. 29409.
