LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Kenilworth Junction: lnwrkj198

British Railways Standard class 9F 2-10-0 No 92151 is seen heading a mineral train coming off the single line adjacent to Kenilworth Junction Signal Cabin. The locomotive has a tender full of coal indicating that it probably started its journey from Nuneaton with coal from one of North Warwickshire's coal pits. With the load appearing to be made up of fine grained coal its most likely en-route to Didcot power station. Built at Crewe works in October 1957 No 92151 failed to see 10 years of service before being withdrawn in April 1967 from Birkenhead shed where it remained in store for a further twelve months before being scrapped by Draper Ltd of Hull in April 1968.
