L&YR Barton Wright 4-4-0

Steam and Early Locomotives

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Barton Wright 4-4-0 was a four-coupled, eight-wheeled bogie express engine that entered service in 1880, designed by William Barton Wright. Locomotive superintendent Barton Wright ordered the first eight in 1879 from Sharp, Stewart and Company for the Hellifield to Chatburn line, and Sharp Stewart supplied a further sixteen in 1881, with Neilson and Company supplying 30 more and Kitson and Company and the Vulcan Foundry the later batches. Most were withdrawn in the early 1900s, with only numbers 922 and 924 lasting past 1914, to become LMS 10100 and 10101 before withdrawal in November 1930.
