Coventry Shed: lnwrcov655
A classic view of Coventry shed and yard with LMS coal
wagons and ex-LNWR and LMS locomotives on shed circa1936. The track which the
coal wagons are standing is raised in height to assist in the coaling of the
locomotives. Whereas at many other sheds a coal stage was provided at Coventry
coaling was undertaken direct from the wagon. The increase in height of the
track made it easier for the labourers to throw the coal in to the bunker or
tender.
