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

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.
