caption_attribution_description: English: Caledonian 4-4-0 at Inverness Locomotive Depot. In the first year of Nationalisation, Pickergill '72' class No. 14493 is still in LMS livery. Inverness Depot was the principal Depot of the former Highland Railway (coded 60A by BR/ScR), providing most of the motive power of the LMSR Highland lines, from Perth and Aberdeen to the Far North. In 1946 it had an allocation of 71:- 37 4-6-0, 15 4-4-0, 8 0-6-0, 6 0-6-0T, 3 0-4-4T, 1 0-4-2T and 1 0-4-0T.
context_page_description: The Caledonian Railway 72 Class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives introduced by William Pickersgill for the Caledonian Railway in 1920. Thirty-two locomotives were built and all survived to be taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 and by British Railways in 1948. The earlier 113 Class, of which 16 were produced, were similar but slightly smaller. These were the Caledonian's last express passenger locomotives, and technically, the last of the Dunalastair series, and were unofficially dubbed, Dunalastair V.
