London Midland Scottish Railway Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Kenilworth Station: lnwrk156a

This close up of image 'lnwrk156' shows the three 7-plank wagons standing in the yard of Cherry Orchard Brickworks. Two are LMS owned and full of coal whilst the other is empty ready to return to Coventry Colliery. Examined carefully the top two planks on the LMS wagons are deeper than the remainder. This was because the weight of the load would be less at the top and therefore the planking need not be as strong as the bottom planks.
