02/08/1953 Warrington Given a robust locomotive, the rising gradient southwards from Warrington (Bank Quay) usually holds no particular difficulties for passenger trains. It was therefore somewhat of an event to see southbound W.266, headed by 45726 Vindictive on Saturday, 2nd August, being banked by 0-6-0 43389 of 8B from Bank Quay up to the bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal. W.266 was made up to 15 bogies, and after 43389 dropped behind on the bridge, the latter ran forward to Acton Grange signal box, where she ran through the crossover and through on to the Down Chester-Warrington track to wend her way back into Arpley Yard and clear of the constant stream of Bank Holiday 'extras.'
