Aintree: Grand National Race Specials in Sidings
View roughly SW to Aintree Sorting Sidings, where several of the 27 Race Specials were waiting to take racegoers home (all over Britain, from Glasgow to London to Bristol) after the 1955 Grand National. It was a filthy wet and cold day - but I had backed the Winner (Quare Times)! This is a memorable and dramatic scene, by Aintree Sorting Sidings No. 1 Box. These trains were the ones that left from Aintree Racecourse Station, which was to the left and on the ex- Lancashire & Yorkshire Fazakerley Junction - North Mersey line.

WD class 2-8-0 locomotives at Aintree ? 1964
A very utilitarian locomotive designed for the Ministry of Defence for freight use during WW2, many serving overseas before returning to the UK and becoming part of the British Railways fleet. This pair displays the typically grimy conditions that these locomotives developed, particularly in the later years of steam, making it impossible to identify their numbers. Aintree locomotive shed was a major provider of locomotives for freight workings in and out of the northern Liverpool docks.
