Looking east towards Coventry with Station Road bridge in the centre, the up yard entrance on the left and the station to the right

Looking east towards Coventry with Station Road bridge in the centre, the up yard entrance on the left and the station to the right. The loading gauge has been strategically placed at the exit to the yard to ensure any loaded open wagon from certain sidings would pass beneath it. Loading gauges were used to ensure that when an open wagon was loaded with goods any load which projected beyond the confines of the wagon did not foul any lineside structures. The line seen above are, from right to left, the up passenger loop line, the up goods line and, on the left, the throat of the sidings.
