Midland Railway Johnson 0-6-0

The Midland Railway Johnson 0-6-0s were a long series of goods tender locomotives built for Britain's Midland Railway between 1875 and 1908, during the tenures of locomotive superintendents Samuel Waite Johnson and Richard Deeley. The Midland ordered 935 engines of the 0-6-0 wheel arrangement, some from its own works at Derby and the rest from outside builders. Although the batches differed in small ways, both as delivered and as later rebuilt with larger or Belpaire boilers, the whole group can be treated as one series and was among the largest classes of engine on Britain's railways. Some engines also went to the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway and the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. After passing to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 and to British Railways at nationalisation, withdrawals began in 1925 and ran until 1964, and none of the locomotives was preserved.
