Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Driver Wallace Oakes GC. A permanent way man checks the fishplate bolts on the through tracks. 86260 is pictured on a southbound train at Crewe. A fitting location, for the man whose name it carries lost his life near here. The George Cross citation reads: - Wallace A. Oakes (33), locomotive Driver, 6 Sandy Lane, Wheelock Heath, Sandbach, Cheshire, on 5 June 1965, although severely burned by a blow-back from the fire-box in the express train he was driving, brought the train to a stop at Winsford, Cheshire, and ensured the safety of a large number of passengers; he died as a result of his injuries on 12 June 1965.
