View eastward from Poppleton Road, the main line being beyond and the Locomotive Depot (now the National Railway Museum) being to the right. The B16s were very much associated with York and at that time more than half the Class of 67 were allocated there. This No. 61454, one of the 17 class B16/3 Thompson-rebuilds, built originally 10/23 as No. 1371, rebuilt 12/44 and becoming 1454 in 1946 and withdrawn as 61454 in 6/64.
