Summary
| Description |
English: Broad gauge 2-2-2 Prince, from a class of the same name, was built by the GWR at Swindon Works in 1846. Note the 'iron coffin' mounted above the rear of the tender - the protective look-out post for the guard while looking back along the train.
Engines from this class are amongst those recorded as working the Birmingham line in later broad gauge years, this description including the line as far north as Wolverhampton. Prince was recorded as receiving attention at Stafford Road shed in January 1858, and it may well have been regularly allocated there. Prince was withdrawn, without being rebuilt, in 1870, a year after broad gauge operations finished at Wolverhampton. |
