This was the first public open weekend of the Mountsorrel branch of the Great Central Railway. The special train consisted of two carriages topped and tailed by steam locomotives. At this end is NER class H No. 1310 of 1891. This is an 0-4-0T designed by Wordsell. The locomotive weighs a mere 22 tons 14 cwt. You can see that the weather was indifferent.
