14631 Pickersgill: A Pride of the Caledonian 60 Class Steam Locomotives This evocative photograph captures the majesty of 14631 Pickersgill, a Caledonian 60 Class 4-6-0 steam locomotive, as it proudly chugs along the rails of a British railway in the 1930s. The London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) was the largest railway company in the United Kingdom at the time, and the Caledonian 60 Class locomotives were a significant part of its extensive fleet. The Caledonian 60 Class, also known as the "Patriotic" or "Climax" Class, was designed by Patrick Stirling-Maxwell, 12th Lord Maxwell, and built between 1926 and 1931. The class was named after famous Scots, including the Duke of Pickersgill, and was renowned for its powerful performance and distinctive appearance. The locomotive in this image, 14631 Pickersgill, is named after the Duke of Pickersgill, who was the British Home Secretary from 1922 to 1924. The locomotive's livery is adorned with the LMS logo and the number 14631, which identifies it as part of the Caledonian 60 Class. The engine's large, gleaming wheels and intricate detailing are a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. The photograph captures a moment in time when steam power was still the dominant force in railway transportation. The steam locomotive had transformed the way people and goods were transported across vast distances, and the Caledonian 60 Class was at the forefront of this technological marvel. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the romance and history of the steam railway era, a time when trains were a symbol of progress and adventure.
