OLD LOCOMOTIVES
What happens to old railway locomotives when their active service is over? Most of them are broken up but a few are preserved and placed .on view at places with which they have special associations. The London, Midland, and Scottish Eailway Company, for instance, recently announced its intention of preserving two famous engines, the London and North-western Railway Hardwicke, and the Caledonian No. 123 (now No. 14010). From the time it was built at Crewe, in ISB9, to its retirement in January last, the Hardwicke has covered 1,326,470 miles.
