Fredrick George Smith

Fredrick George Smith was the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Highland Railway from 1912 to 1915. He was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1872 and died in 1956. His only design for the Highland Railway was the River Class, which was rejected by the Chief Engineer, causing his resignation. He went on to take a post in the Ministry of Munitions and in 1918 entered the steel industry.
