Title
L2883 - Contractor's siding off the L.N.W.R.
Description
L2883 - Looking across the permanent way of the London & North Western Railway towards an 0-6-0 goods engine and wagon train about to pass in front of a contractor's siding near Narborough, Leicestershire. The firms responsible for the Last Main Line's construction, in this case Topham, Jones & Railton, had to use the country's existing railway network to transport the enormous quantity of material that was required to build the London Extension. Ironically, this meant co-operating with the very companies with whom the Great Central would later be in direct competition.
