View showing the junction of the goods loop line with the main line adjacent to Leamington South Signal Box. The two sets of tracks passing behind the signal box (on the right) are the former LNWR's lines between Leamington and Rugby. The building seen to the left of the signal box is that seen in image 'gwrls824' being used by the Permanent Way gang. The signal has been set to allow GWR 4-6-0 King Class No 6003 'King George IV' to pass through Leamington station on the down through line on 23rd April 1960. Built at Swindon works to Lot 243 in July 1927, No 6003 remained in service until June 1962 when it was withdrawn from 88A Canton shed in Cardiff.
