This is a photo of the Steam engine No 45596, Bahamas, which was probably taken at Crewe in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The engine looks freshly painted, so was probably being used on a preservation railway or similar. The engine was built in 1934 in Glasgow and is still in use on preservation railways.
