GWR Route: Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-on-Stour

Longdon Road Station: gwrlr948

View of the construction crew working on removing the original Moreton-in-Marsh tramway tunnel which passed under Camden Road. The tunnel bore which can be seen behind the locomotive was much narrower than required by steam locomotives as it only needed to accommodate horse-drawn traffic. Railway contractor's steam locomotives were frequently built deliberately small to allow their use in confined areas as seen above.
