LMS Fowler Class 4F No. 4459

44459 was a Fowler 4F 0-6-0 Steam locomotive. 44459 started life as LMS 4459, built for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway by Horwich Works on the 30th April 1928. 
Like its siblings 4459 hauled medium freight work. In 1948 4459 was renumbered to 44459 after the LMS merged with the SR, GWR and LNER to become British Railways. 
In the 1950s 44459 crashed into a chip shop in Kirkby. The incident inspired Folk-singer and former fireman Dave Goulder to write a song about the incident. 
44459 was withdrawn on the 31th March 1960, the engine was scrapped on the 30th November 1960 at Crewe Works.
