NUNEATON LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (2D/2B/5E) - The London & North Western Railway opened their locoshed at Nuneaton in 1878 nestled in the fork of the West Coast Mainline and the branch to Coventry. It was a large 8-track, dead-end shed with a rotary coaling plant. Traffic in this area was enormous, generated mainly by the many nearly coalmines. In 1917 Nuneaton Train Control with a staff of 17 dealt with 90,000 wagons per week. In March 1959, the allocation was 62 engines, almost exclusively goods engines plus a few small tank engines for local passenger services and no less than Ivatt Class 4MT 2-6-0's for local freight workings. The locoshed closed in June 1966.  Seen here is Class 8F No.48206, a Nuneaton engine, with the rotary coal loader on the left.
