Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Barton Wright
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Barton Wright 0-6-0 Class refers to the standard goods tender locomotives designed by William Barton Wright during his tenure as Locomotive Superintendent of the L&YR from 1875 to 1886, providing the railway's freight operation with a reliable and standardised goods engine for the intensive industrial traffic of the L&YR's Lancashire and Yorkshire network. Barton Wright designed several related 0-6-0 goods types during his tenure, all using the inside-cylinder configuration suited to the L&YR's maintenance facilities and the industrial goods traffic of the densely-trafficked northern network.
See the main L&YR Barton Wright Class entry for the full design history, service record, and preservation status. This designation covers the same 0-6-0 goods locomotives as that entry, reflecting the various naming conventions applied to Barton Wright's L&YR goods locomotive programme across different reference sources.
