LMS Route: Coventry Loop Line
Humber Road Junction: lnwrcll103a
Close up of image 'lnwrcll103a' showing the junction and
signal box with open wagons loaded with ballast standing alongside the signal
controlling access to the main line. The loop line is equipped with trap points
on the down line and points to a short siding with buffer stops on the up line.
This was to protect the main line from either wagons rolling backwards from the
down loop line or a train on the up loop line over running the signal. The
stacked sleepers would have been left over from the construction of the
junction and loop line.
