Close up of image 'lnwr_oldmil1446' showing a single-plank flat wagon with the L&NWR diamond marking lying beneath the wreckage. To the left of this wagon, out of view, was a LNWR 'loco' wagon used to transporting coal to Milverton shed. Harry Jack in his RCTS book 'LNWR locomotives of the LNWR Southern Division' records that in 1855 there were six locomotives at Milverton, two of them being spare. Before opening it had been estimated that only one engine would be required but this quickly turned out to be an underestimate.
