LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Broom Junction Station: mrbj537b

Close up of 'image mrbj537' Broom Junction's two goods sidings located on the East side of the station with a coal merchant's horse drawn cart on the right. The hand operated point lever in the foreground had a weight attached to the end to aid its operation, its weight helping to close the points on the downward stroke. The five plank open wagon loaded with coal was a common type to be found all over the British Isles' railway network.
