Trbwnegs939 76000 Motherwell - a photo on Flickriver

            No location (Motherwell, thanks to Chris for confirming) for this one thought to have been taken in 1963. In view is Riddles Standard 4 2-6-0 76000 on a short freight service, The loco is carrying a 66B Motherwell shed plate and the location sort of reminds be of Motherwell Station with the train coming from the Carstairs direction, but that may be wishful thinking.
The loco was new from Horwich Works in December 1952 and withdrawn in May 1967, cutting up was at Motherwell Machinery and Scrap (Wishaw) four months later. According to the BR database the loco spent it's whole life at Motherwell shed but not sure if that is correct.
