Summary
DescriptionBroughton Astley 2 Station geograph-2197319.jpg
English: Broughton Astley Station and Down local train.
View southward, towards Rugby; ex-Midland Rugby - Leicester line. In the days when thousands of tons of coal had to be conveyed daily from the Midlands coalfields to London and the South-East, a number of coal trains from Toton and other yards ran to the yards at Willesden (Sudbury Junction) in addition to all those up the Midland Main Line via Wellingbrough to Brent Sidings (Cricklewood). However, by the 1960s this line was superfluous and was closed (with the station) on 1/1/62. The train is a Rugby to Leicester local, headed by LMS Fowler 4P 2-6-4T No. 42352.
