Building the last Main Line Railway

Contractor's Builders Yards & Locomotives: gcrcs120

A number of mineral wagons, some belonging to the Midland Railway, sit on the temporary rails of a contractor's yard near Willoughby, circa 1897. This yard would have been operated by Thomas Oliver & Son, the firm responsible for building this section of the GC's Main Line (Contract No.4, Rugby to Woodford).
