Title
L2284 - Steam shovel and navvies at work near Rugby
Description
L2284 - Thought to have been photographed near Rugby, this steam powered excavator tips its load into a horse drawn wagon. The engine's wooden shelter is not an original feature, but an improvised structure installed by the contractor. Note the poorly laid contractor's temporary railway, and the lamps hung from the wooden poles.
