Description: The Holden E4 (GER T26) 2-4-0 Locomotive 420 James Holden designed his T26 2-4-0s (LNER E4) in 1891, to meet the Great Eastern Railway's (GER) need for a mixed traffic locomotive. Intended to haul the increasing agricultural traffic, it also had to haul cross-country and slow main line passenger services. One E4 has survived and is a part of the National Collection. No. 490 (BR No. 62785) is currently displayed at Bressingham Steam Museum. This photo was taken from an old original photo we came across while helping to clear the house of a deceased friend. I have uploaded it to Flickr in the hope that it might be interesting to steam enthusiasts.
