Historic steam train visits Hastings

The Black 5 was a London Midlands and Scotland (LMS) loco and one of the last steam locomotives to be withdrawn from service, surviving until 1968, the last year of steam on British Rail.

She was also one of four locomotives chosen to take part in the famous Fifteen Guinea Special on Sunday August 11 1968. 44871 was in-charge of the Carlisle Citadel to Manchester Victoria leg of the tour which went south down the Settle and Carlisle Line.

Kevin Boorman captured these dramatic pictures of the loco.
