LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Kenilworth Junction: lnwrkj198

BR Standard Riddles 9F 2-10-0 No 92151 is seen at the head of a mineral train coming off the single line with the crew ready to exchange the token with the box. The locomotive has a tender full of coal indicating that it probably started its journey from one of North Warwickshire's coal pits and its more than likely as the load appears to be made up of fine coal its en-route to Didcot power station.

Its remarkable that even though photography had become much more common than previous, crews were still ready to pose to the camera. Number 92151 was built at Crewe in October 1957 and failed to see 10 years of service being withdrawn in April 1967 from Birkenhead shed. It remained in store for a further twelve months before being scrapped by Draper Ltd of Hull in April 1968.
