LMS Route: Coventry Loop Line

Lineside Views: lnwrcll1743

View of Coventry Loop Line under construction with the over bridges complete but still with the contractor's temporary track in place. These bridges were built on the section between Gosford Green and Bell Green Goods yard and are probably the bridges that carried Caludon Road and Heath Road respectively. The temporary trackwork laid down by contractors did not need to conform to the same high standards to be employed on the railway for normal use and explains why the finished line is described as the permanent way.
