LNER Route: Leicester to Marylebone

Rugby Central Station: gcrcs292

A grimy and unidentified ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 locomotive stands at Rugby Central with the down local to Nottingham Victoria in 1966. The down refuge loop line can be seen to its right. Beneath the photographer is a grounded coach body in the goods yard of an unknown type and vintage. Coach bodies such as this would have been used to store equipment, vulnerable goods or used as mess facilities by the men who worked in the yard.

A copy of this photograph can be purchased 'here' from the RCTS by quoting reference: PG00956.
