Close up of image 'mrls425' showing Lawley Street 'B' Signal
Box, the MR Johnson 0-6-0T and the plethora of sidings which fed the warehouse
and depot. On the left most of the wagons in view are also mineral wagons
although the sheeting seen covering some wagons indicates these could be
carrying non-mineral loads. The need for the railway to provide loading gauges
as identified in image 'mrls308b' is demonstrated by
this photograph. In the foreground is an open wagon loaded with goods, possibly
steel, which are much longer than the wagon itself. This was a common sight on
the railway and was not a problem provided the wagon marshalled next to its
overhang was not a Van or had a load which pointed in the opposite
direction.
