The Kingsbury and Water Orton Railway: mrwo1753

Looking north along the new line towards Kingsbury Junction with the line to Whitacre on the right.

Looking north along the new line towards Kingsbury Junction with the line to Whitacre on the right. The new line is rounding a curve of 95 chains radius. The old line from Whitacre was straight from the curve at that junction through Kingsbury station to Wilmcote. In order to give the trains using the new railway a clear run through the junction at Kingsbury, the northbound track of the old line has been deviated to form a rather sharp curve at that point.
