LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Kenilworth Station: lnwrk3782

An unidentified ex-LNWR 0-6-0 'Cauliflower' goods locomotive is entering Kenilworth station on a very cold and snowy day

An unidentified ex-LNWR 0-6-0 'Cauliflower' goods locomotive is entering Kenilworth station on a very cold and snowy day with a Coventry to Leamington passenger service. The 'Cauliflower' locomotives, or to give their correct name 18 inch Goods, were a well known and powerful LNWR engine with larger cylinders and wheels designed for express goods but also often used on passenger trains as seen above. The class could be distinguished from other LNWR 0-6-0 locomotives by the humps in the footplate to clear the connecting rod pins and by the company crest on the centre splashers, which earned them the 'Cauliflower' nickname from its appearance at a distance.
