GWR Route: Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-on-Stour
Moreton-in-Marsh Station: gwrmm3069
A gang of men from the Great Western Railway's Civil
Engineering Department are working on both the platform and track bed. The
track sleepers are covered in ash ballast, a practice common to most railways
in the 19th century. Today this practice would be frowned upon because the ash
covered the bolts holding the chairs to the sleepers and could not therefore be
easily inspected.
