Todays cement
Peter Murnaghan

Hi Keith, You might be interested in my photos from this morning of the Aberthawe empties leaving Moorswater and, after a quick dash, arriving at Coombe Junction.  Curiously, the loco number is anagram of today's date !
Best wishes,  Peter   Many thanks Peter I think Roger saw the same train up the line.

Southampton Docks

LSWR 0-4-0ST no. 109 Southampton is known as a Shanks tram engine which is derived from the name of the builder, Alexander Shanks of Arbroath. No. 109 was purchased for use on the LSWR's Royal Pier at Southampton and was delivered on 19/9/1876 and would later be ably assisted by two more locos of the same design. No. 109 and her sisters would be superseded by the C14 class and moved to other duties whilst this example would be withdrawn in December 1913 and subsequently sold to Kynock Ltd of Longparish exactly two years after withdrawal. The negative was obviously taken on Royal Pier and is dated c. 1912 which is nonsense as 109 had moved away from there some five years previously. Image notes paraphrased from D. L. Bradley's LSWR Locomotives The Adams Classes. [Mike Morant collection]
