Close up of image 'lnwrflek1316' showing the Weeden end of Flecknoe station's platform and the loading gauge behind the fencing protecting the siding. Loading gauges were provided at the exit to sidings so that staff could check the loads on open wagons were within gauge. This prevented oversized loads from hitting and damaging bridges, tunnels and other parts of the railway infrastructure.
