A fine summer's morning at the south end of Carlisle station on the first day of June 1963. At platform 4 Stanier Pacific 46233 Duchess of Sutherland has just taken charge of the 9.56am Glasgow Central - London Euston and is preparing to get underway on the next leg of the journey south. The locomotive was withdrawn by BR eight months later and subsequently went on to become something of a preservation celebrity.
