GWR Route: Alcester to Hatton Junction

Bearley Junction: gwrbj775

Photographed from the end of Bearley Platform in 1938, the 5.45am Leamington to Honeybourne local freight hauled by a pannier tank waits adjacent to Bearley East Junction Signal Box for shunter Walter Morris. Notice the two MINKs behind the iron mink have their brakes applied. The junction for the north curve and Alcester can just be seen branching to the right in the middle distance, while the station goods yard is to the right in the foreground. Two long refuge sidings next to the road crushing plant run parallel to the north curve and could accommodate thirty wagons.
