This close up of image "lnwrcov645" Close up showing a LNWR 0-6-0 DX goods engine on a short train passing the Coventry station on an up goods working. shows the LNWR 0-6-0 DX goods engine with a tender full of coal indicating that its a local locomotive having just come off shed. The load on the fourth wagon appears to be hand carts with some kind of bowser or barrel. The other engine in this photo, the DX, is still in pre-1873 green livery, with a painted number on the footplate side-sheet rather than a numberplate, but with a numberplate (shaped like a nameplate) on the middle splasher. Can't read its number unfortunately. I think the first wagon (maybe the second also?) is lettered 'LOCO' - presumably an empty loco-coal wagon from the shed"

Above the last coach the approach to the station appears to be landscaped, a path providing access from the L & B station building on Warwick Road.
