LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton
Water Orton Station: mrwo121a
Close up of image 'mrwo121' showing the lime stained cattle
wagon standing on the siding with a railway worker posed for the camera. The
building behind the railway worker, possibly working in the yard or signal box,
is most probably the station master's house. In front of the worker is part of
the pointwork leading to the Water Orton's small goods yard. The use of lime to
clean cattle wagons was common on railways and the sight of the bleached
timbers was common across all railway companies.
