Liverpool & Manchester Railway 0-4-2 No. 57 'Lion'Posted by: Russell Newman on Mar 10, 2023 @ 14:03:23
A true surviving locomotive of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway is No. 57 "Loin" which was built by Todd, Kitson & Laird of Leeds in 1838. "Lion" was built to haul freight and later passengers for the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. "Lion" was retired from service in 1857 and ended up being used as a stationary engine to drive a pump for the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board until it was taken out to be restored to operate again by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1930 to mark the centenary of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in the same year and also the centenary of the London and Brimingham Railway. "Lion" was also bit of a film star too as she appeared in servral feature films, but her best staring roll was in the 1953 Ealing comedy "The Titfield Thunderbolt". "Lion" was still able to raise steam still until the early 1980s which she was able to take part in the Rocket 150 Cavalcade making the 150th anniversary of the Rainhill trials and the opening of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1980. Today "Lion" enjoys a happy retirement on display in the Museum of Liverpool.
