GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Hockley and Duddeston: gwrhd692b

This close up of image 'gwrhd692' shows that the main type of wagon used for traffic handled by the GWR at Hockley was the box van and if not available, an open wagon protected from the elements by a sheet. It was not unknown that box vans had to have their loads protected internally due to leaking roofs. The wagons are standing alongside the Outwards and Tranship shed.
