Summary
| Description |
English: Severn Tunnel Junction Locomotive Depot View westwards, towards the Shed building, beyond which was the Station and the great Marshalling Yard. At that time (1951) about 100 freight (predominately coal) trains passed through Severn Tunnel Junction - each way each day (except Sundays). Many had arrived or been assembled at the Yard and over half had to pass through the Tunnel, with its gruelling gradients each way and needed banking assistance. This Depot (coded 86E by BR in the Newport District) therefore provided all the bankers (2-6-2Ts) as well as a number of engines for trains starting from Severn Tunnel Junction Yard, while servicing arriving locomotives. The allocation in 1950 was 77, comprising:- 2 4-6-0s, 14 (+ 3 WD) 2-8-0s, 2 2-6-0s, 2 0-6-0s, 12 2-8-2Ts, 10 2-8-0Ts, 17 2-6-2Ts, 9 0-6-2Ts and 6 0-6-0Ts. In the photograph is a typical line-up - on a Sunday, with 31XX 2-6-2T No. 3157 on the right. |
