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

Shipston-on-Stour Station: gwrss950a

Close up of image 'gwrss950' showing the grounded ex-GWR Dean 40 foot passenger bogie brake van and still on its wheels a GWR four-wheel Van. This van is not sitting on rails and its not known how it was manoeuvered into place. In all probability it was by the time honoured method of jacking and sliding the Van sideways using physical labour and perhaps the aid of the railway's horse normally used foe road deliveries.
