GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Leamington Spa Station: gwrls2084a
Close up of image 'gwrls2084' showing one end of the short train
and the method adopted to stable the girder during transit. In this view the
raised short jib indicates that it has just been travelling out of gauge the
short distance from the site of the bridge to the shed where the longest span
of the replacement bridge had been erected. Note that not only is the jib too
high and therefore out of gauge but the girder is only held in place by the
crane and one set of chains to the wagon. See image 'misc_equip203' for more information on the
steam cranes and match trucks.
