Bagworth Loader 1979

The rapid coal loader under construction at Bagworth, Leicestershire


6-of-16) A new connection from the Leiceter - Burton line to the new rapid coal loader at Bagworth is being constructed, in July 1979, with a conveyor to carry coal from the preparation plant at Nailstone Colliery.  The effect of mining subsidence, for long a problem in this area, can be seen by the dip in the track of the Leicester to Burton line.
