How did they get all that coal into the tender???
A great film about old fashioned train sheds!
A train shed is a building adjacent to a station building where the tracks and platforms of a railway station are covered by a roof.
It is also known as an overall roof. Its primary purpose is to store
and protect from the elements train cars not in use, The first train
shed was built in 1830 at Liverpool's Crown Street Station. The biggest
train sheds were often built as an arch of glass and iron, while the
smaller were built as normal pitched roofs. The train shed with the
biggest single span ever built was that at the second Philadelphia Broad
Street Station, built in 1891.
Enjoy!
