GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hockley Station: gwrhd725c
Close up of image 'gwrhd725' showing the large variety of
open wagons and box vans in use by the GWR and the other railway companies. The
variety of wagons vary from four-plank to six or seven-plank open wagons plus
box vans of all shapes and sizes. All of the four railway company wagons are on
show the NE having box vans, the LMS with box vans and open wagons, the SR with
just open wagons whilst the GWR had both. It is worth noting that not one
Private Owner vehicle is in sight, in this close up or indeed the main
photograph. The canopy seen attached to the Outwards and Tranship shed has
glazed roofing in order to maximise the amount of daylight being available to
the yard labourers employed beneath the canopy to load the wagons.
