Rugby Station: lnwrrm3053a

Close up of image 'lnwrrm3053' showing the coaling stage with the Midland Railway's lines from Leicester to Rugby passing in front of the structure. The shed appears to be constructed primarily from timber, with a brick platform and a tiled roof. A single track passes into the shed from the left up on which 'loco' coal wagons would be shunted so that their load could be tipped on to the platform ready to be shovelled into a locomotive's tender of bunker. The set of tracks immediately in front of the platform was where the locomotives would stand. The roof partly extends over this track providing partial protection from inclement weather.
