Close up of image 'gwrw2193' showing a train of four-wheel petrol tank cars being marshalled for the Regent Oil Company. The oil company distributed petrol from the yard to the surrounding area much as coal merchants did with coal. The checker at the yard in the 1960s was Jimmy Farnell who would book in four to five petrol tank wagons each day.
