A 1910 photograph showing the LNWR & MR at Tamworth shared road transport facilities as well at the Goods Depot. In this instance its not just the traction engine but the trailer too. It was not unusual for either company to share goods depot facilities with other companies where appropriate, such as where both had adjacent facilities. The registration mark of the traction engine is that of Lincoln, where it must have been registered by the builders, William Foster & Co Ltd, before delivery, a normal practice at that time. The load on the trailer looks like sheets of cardboard, presumably being despatched from a local paper mill.
