Data from "New Engines on the East and West Junction Ry," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol XIII (15 February 1907), pp. 30. Works numbers 4496 (1903), 4633 (1904), 4735 (1906), 5102-5103 (1908).
This little transfer railway served such towns as Blisworth, Towcester, and Stratford. Although frequently a borrower of locomotives, some with exotic parentage, during its early days, the E & W J Ry bought its first Beyer, Peacock locomotive in 1873 and continued to patronize that builder until 1908. Among its last independent purchases was this set of goods locomotives, which had the B, P signature Belpaire fireboxes, outside frame, a tall slender dome in the center of the boiler, capped stack, and short cab.
The E & WJ Ry was merged into the Stratford-upon-Avon & Midland Junction Railway (aka to many the Slow, Miserable, and Jolty) in 1909. The locomotives survived to join the LMS collection, but were retired by 1930.
