Data from "Shunting Locomotive for the Liverpool Overhead Ry", The Locomotive Magazine,Volume VIII [8] (17 Jan 1903), p.38.
A vital cog in a system that is proudly described as the first elevated railway to be operated entirely by electricity, this little locomotive assembled the trains that ran on the 6 miles (9.6 km) of line. It may have originally served the West Lancashire Railway's Southport-Crossens passenger line beginning in 1884 (Locobase 20660); all of its dimensions are identical.. The LOR is described as having been an excellent vantage point from which to see the workings of one of the busiest harbors in the world. According to the UrbanRail website -- [
