| W27 Merstone pulls away from Newport with a train for
Cowes in 1962. Despite the closure some years earlier of the lines to
Freshwater and Sandown, Newport retained the air of a busy junction station
right up to its own closure in 1966. To the right of the photo another 02 tank
can just be seen in the bay platform formerly used by services to Freshwater.

With steam leaking from several places, this unidentified O2 has
called at Newport. Note the Westinghouse pump on the left of the smokebox and
the vacuum cylinder on top of the water tank.

| Just like a pair of twins! Two O2s on their respective
trains, all ready to set forth across the island. The further loco has a route
disc on the front buffer beam. It was often the practice on the Island to leave
these in situ regardless of which end of the loco was "leading",
unlike on the mainland.
