Summary[edit]

Description
English: Rugby (LMR) Locomotive Depot.
View westward in the Locomotive Yard to the Shed - with enthusiasts wandering about. At the time (1953) this principal ex-London& North Western Depot consisted of two Sheds, each with 12 roads: these may have been needed in pre-Grouping times when all main-line expresses called at Rugby, but were already superfluous in the latter days, so even on Sundays (as here) there were not many locomotives left standing out in the Yard. (Visible in this photograph are:- 4-6-0 No. 45000, 2-8-0 No. 48085, 0-8-0s Nos. 48915, 49447 and 49452, and 0-6-0T No. 47379. The Depot provided some of the motive power for freight and secondary passenger trains on the West Coast Main Line, the main line to Coventry and Birmingham, and the lines to Northampton, Market Harborough and Peterborough, also to Leicester and the branch to Leamington. Its allocation in 1954 was 88, comprising:- 38 4-6-0s, 7 4-4-0s, 10 2-8-0s, 11 0-8-0s, 7 0-6-0s, 9 2-6-4Ts, 1 2-6-2T, 1 2-4-2T and 4 0-6-0Ts. The Depot closed to steam on 25/5/65, then was used as a stabling point for Diesels for a few years after.
