LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Coventry Gas Works: misc_covgas131a

Close up showing an unidentified Bagnall 0-4-0ST locomotive paused between duties at Coventry Gasworks

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.
