LNER Pacifics - Withdrawal

Withdrawal

Excluding the Raven Class A2s, and one A4 which was destroyed by bombing during the war, British Railways withdrew the LNER Pacifics from stock between 1959 and 1966. The W1 (technically not a pacific by wheel arrangement but sharing many features) was withdrawn in 1959.

Famous quotes containing the word withdrawal:

    A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning’s greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications.... Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    A separation situation is different for adults than it is for children. When we were very young children, a physical separation was interpreted as a violation of our inalienable rights....As we grew older, the withdrawal of love, whether that meant being misunderstood, mislabeled or slighted, became the separation situation we responded to.
    Roger Gould (20th century)
