GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Earlswood Lakes Station: gwrel455
Ex-ROD 2-8-0 No 3014 is seen receiving attention whilst
standing on the down refuge siding just beyond Rumbush Lane road bridge. The
GWR bought a number of these former Railway Operating Division locomotives
after they were declared surplus by the War Department after the First World
War and were a common sight in the area in between the wars. Built as ROD No
2026 by the North British Locomotive Company in May 1919, No 3014 survived in
service until October 1955 when it was withdrawn from Carmarthen shed.
