When Hughes introduced his classification system around 1919, the more powerful superheated locomotives were designated Class 6, non superheated locomotives being Class 5. [15]Suggitt, Gordon (2003).

The system consisted of many branches and alternative routes, so that it is not easy to determine the location of its main line. For working purposes the railway was split into three divisions: John Henry Davies became the club president, and on 26 April 1902, given that the team was no longer based in Newton Heath, the new owners renamed the club Manchester United Football Club, after considering the alternative names "Manchester Celtic" and "Manchester Central". They also changed the team's colours to red and white.

Like the Vanderbilt boilers in use in the United States, Hoy's boiler was claimed to have three advantages over regular fireboxes: simplicity in construction, avoidance of screwed stays and copper fireboxes, and a greater area of free water circulation. One locomotive, 1895-built L&YR number 1300 (later LMS 12322 and BR 52322) has survived and is preserved at the East Lancashire Railway. It is owned by Andy Booth and its most recent overhaul was completed in 2021. Sources are divided on the exact date of the meeting and subsequent name change. Whilst official club sources claim that it occurred on 26 April, the meeting was reported by the Manchester Evening Chronicle in its 25 April edition, suggesting it was indeed on 24 April.

It retained the earlier design's Belpaire firebox, but had 417 sq ft more heating surface area and 13 long tons (13.2 metric tons) heavier. A photo shows the resulting large, cylindrical boiler dominating the short wheelbase and small drivers of the coal hauler. According to steamindex, the L&Y built two "lots" of 20--Lot 66 in 1909/1910 and Lot 74 in 1917 and rebuilt eighteen of the original 0-8-0s and fourteen of those that had been delivered with corrugated firebox. The opening of the works in 1886 coincided with Barton Wright’s departure and the arrival of John Aspinall in the newly created role of Chief Mechanical Engineer. He set about designing a new range of standard locomotives which would be built in-house at Horwich. Over the next dozen years a whole series of outstanding locomotives was produced including the emblematic 2-4-2T (of which 330 were eventually built), the ‘A’ class 0-6-0 (490 built), the 0-8-0 coal engine (295 built), the ‘Flyer’ 4-4-0 (40 built) and the famous Atlantic ‘Highflyer’ 4-4-2 of which 40 were built. Along the route miles were 291 passenger stations and slightly more goods stations as well as several large marshalling yards. There were 91 tunnels and 2,478 bridges and viaducts. Train movements were controlled by 733 signal boxes and ground frames.

Class 502 was a type of electric multiple unit originally built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway at its Derby Works. Introduced in 1940 and withdrawn by 1980, they spent the whole of their working lives on the electrified railway lines of north Liverpool The main constituent of the L&YR (which was incorporated in 1847) was the Manchester & Leeds Railway which built its works at Miles Platting, Manchester, although its first proper Locomotive Superintendent, Jenkins, came from another constituent, the Manchester & Bolton Railway.
