Leamington Spa Station: gwrls249a

Close up showing the evolution of the water supply for locomotives located at the London end of the up platform

Close up of image 'gwrls249' showing the evolution of the water supply for locomotives located at the London end of the up platform. The domed parachute water tank was erected first which served locomotives standing at the up platform. This was then later augmented by the smaller flat topped parachute water tank which served locomotives on the up goods loop line. The final incarnation was the water crane seen standing on the right facing the signal.
