LMS Route: Berkswell to Kenilworth Junction

Kenilworth Junction: lnwrkj3129

Another view of ex- MR 4F 0-6-0 No 43979 standing at Kenilworth Junction on the Berkswell branch line. Why it is standing wrong road might be reflected by the train reporting code of one lamp over the right hand buffer. This denoted it was a Type 9 working which British Railways described as 'Branch train or stopping freight train and Officers' Special train or ballast train requiring to stop in section. Maximum speed 35 mph. Where fitted vehicles are required to be placed next to the engine and coupled up, this will be shown in the appropriate regional train loading instructions.'
