Hawkesbury Lane Station: lnwhl3252

LMS 3MT 2-6-2T No 143 crosses the level crossing on a five coach service to Coventry on 24th July 1948

LMS 3MT 2-6-2T No 143 crosses the level crossing on a five coach service to Coventry on 24th July 1948. WA 'Cam' Camwell must have been standing alongside EH Russell when he took this photograph as it shows the train just a few seconds later than that seen in image 'lnwrhl140'. This view does help to demonstrate the short platforms on the station which, in common with all of the other stations on the line, had been built in the very early days of railway transportation which required only short trains to fulfil the railway's needs.
