London Midland Scottish Railway Route: Nuneaton to
Leamington
Kenilworth Station: lnwrk163
Ex-LNWR 4-4-0 'Hydra' has been photographed on the same day
as image 'lnwrk162' as is evident by the wagons on the left. The tall signal
behind the tender has two arms because of sighting problems. The curve of the
track and road bridge seen in the distance would be problematic for drivers if
the signal was sited at normal heights off the ground. Whilst the highest
signal could therefore be seen from a distance it was too high to be seen on
foggy days and therefore a second signal was required at a much lower
level.
