GWR 6800 Class 6831 Bearley Grange

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bearley Grange 6831 is a type of locomotive, one of the GWR 6800 Class. It was used in the United Kingdom on a line between Chester and Shrewsbury and also Gresford bank. The shed allocation of this engine is in dispute and could possibly either be Oxley or perhaps Chester. The Granges were usually given secondary work such as perishable or parcels traffic and later pictures of them show them to be in states of disrepair.

• The Bearly Grange is shown in "Wrexham Railways" -(Bridge books) ( vol. 1 and 2). "More Great Western Steam in Wales and the border counties" C. L. Williams -(Bradford Barton) also has at least one picture which is of slightly better quality.
