GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Leamington Spa Station: gwrls2084

A pair of GWR steam cranes, with a girder suspended between them, are seen stabled in the carriage sidings alongside Leamington Engine shed circa 1906. The steam cranes and girder would remain at the sidings until the possession period, when the railway is fully or partially closed and normally over a weekend, commenced. The girder is part of the original Brunel bridge which was dismantled in 1907. See image 'misc_equip203' for more information on the steam cranes and match trucks.
