LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton
Water Orton Station: mrwo1156
Ex LMS 4F 0-6-0 No 44458 passes Water Orton station and on
to the fast lines to Kingsbury with a train of empty mineral wagons. A good
fire at the back up to the firebox door and just a little down the front kept
these loco's rolling. The pile of building materials between the running lines
was for the new Station Junction Signal box. Wagons of coal etc. can be seen in
the Station yard under the bridge left. The tin hut near to the camera was the
signal lampmans whilst the brick hut in the distance was the platelayers.
