London Midland Scottish Railway Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Kenilworth Station: lnwrk150a

This close up of image 'lnwrk150' shows the goods rolling stock behind the tender. There are five goods wagons in front of what appears to be three clerestory coaches. Apparently this composition was abolished in 1885 which allegedly dates the picture as the station was opened the year before.

As goods wagons are seen well into the 1950s, if not later, one must assume it was where the rolling stock was placed in the train that determined in the 19th century the definition of mixed stock. The above goods wagons are behind the tender whereas the author can only remember them at the rear of the train.
