Title
L2220 - Brick arch road bridge and contractor's locomotive near Rugby
Description
L2220 - A view across the cutting towards the skew brick arch overbridge built to carry Ashlawn Road over the Last Main Line near Rugby. A contractor's locomotive waits in steam on the temporary rails, her crew looking up towards Newton's camera. Visible in the central arch beneath the plume of white steam is the distinctive cab of a steam navvy, a makeshift shelter built of wood and corrugated metal that helped shield the engine and her crew from the elements.
