Report Date Title Report Source
31/03/1947 Moor Row MPD Living up to its pre-grouping reputation of housing a considerable variety of older locomotive types, Moor Row shed was well worth a visit over Easter week-end. The present stud consists of seven ex-L. & Y. 0-6-0's; three standard 0-6-0 shunting tanks; two Webb 'Coal' tanks; one 'Cauliflower' and four ex F.R. 0-6-0's. Of the latter, 12508 was away for heavy repairs while the remaining three, 12494, 12499, and 12510 were all 'on the active list.' The running of the 9.20 p.m. passenger train from Barrow to Whitehaven is always entrusted to 12499, since she is the only engine at Moor Row capable of maintaining the schedule, or improving it. The load is usually 6 to 8 bogies. During a recent overhaul at Horwich the boilers of 12494 and 12510 were exchanged and now 12494, instead of 12510, is the only example at Moor Row of an F.R. engine with the original type of round-topped boiler: the others carry Belpaire boilers of the L. & Y. type. The two Webb 0 6 2 tanks are 7699 and 27553. Both were sent to Moor Row to work the re-established passenger service between Whitehaven, Moor Row, Egremont and Sellafleld. 7699 still carries her 2A shed plate, but 27553 has had her's (10E) removed. The single 'Cauliflower' is No. 28441. The three standard shunting tanks are 7317, 7337, and 7390, and they are regarded as the best locomotives at the depot. The L. & Y. types are a motley collection, the latest addition being 12551, the only superheated engine at Moor Row. She still carries a 10B shed plate and is in very indifferent order. An unusual visitor to this area has been 4-4-0 No. 673 which, was attached to Moor Row shed from Upperby for special duty. When she arrived she was nearly due for a major overhaul and is now standing outside the shed, with coupling rods removed, waiting to be removed to Derby for repairs. SLS/194705
