LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry
Coventry Gas Works: misc_covgas131a
Close up of image 'lnwrcov_gas131' showing an unidentified
Bagnall 0-4-0ST locomotive paused between duties at Coventry Gasworks whilst
its crew takes a 'breather'. The Saddle Tank was one of four used to shunt the
coal wagons and marshal trains of empty wagons ready to be moved back to the
pits. Behind the passenger foot bridge are the faint outlines of other Gas
Holders. The pointwork seen on the extreme right of this photo was from the
trailing crossing for trains heading in the direction of Coventry. There was no
pointwork at this location for Coventry to Nuneaton trains as the track crossed
directly over to the sidings.
