LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington
Kenilworth Junction: lnwrkj183
Ex-LMS 8F 2-8-0 No 48650 is working a mineral train as the
fireman is about to return the exchange tablet to the signalman. Number 48650
was built by the Southern Railway at Eastleigh Works in October 1943 and lasted
until August 1967 when it was withdrawn from service being scrapped by J
Buttigieg of Newport in December 1967.
The fine coal seen in the steel mineral wagons indicates
that the train was delivering coal to one of the CEGB's power stations probably
Didcot. The footpath on the right was the means by which the signalmen accessed
the signal box from the road above.
