Goods Wagons

GWR 5 plank Open Goods Wagon 25190 was built at Swindon in 1904 as Lot 445 to Diagram O4. It is of type OPEN A, signifying that it was fitted with a sheet support (which it no longer has), but did not have vacuum brakes. It was reconstructed in 1937.

25190 arrived on the SVR on 16 December 1986[1] from the British Waterways Board’s Sharpness Docks, accompanied by another similar wagon number 13260. The latter was accepted on the understanding that it was unsuitable for restoration and would be dismantled to provide spare parts.[2]. 25190 was restored during 1987 before entering service incorporating drawhooks salvaged from 13260.[3] It received a further overhaul in 2008.[4] It is owned by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund.

Welcome to the Severn Valley Railway Wiki

From this week's featured article
Eardington is situated on Eardington Bank, mid-way between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade. In recent years, rebuilding the platform was completed in 2019 and the water tower was dismantled in 2021. Although the station no longer features in daily operations, it resumed use during gala events in 2023 more than 40 years since regular timetabled trains ceased. (Full article...)

For 101 years between 1862 and 1963, the Severn Valley Railway formed part of the national railway network, running for 40 miles between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury. Established as a separate company, it was mainly operated by the Great Western Railway (GWRGreat Western Railway) and later by British Railways (BRBritish Rail or British Railways).

The present day Severn Valley Railway (SVRSevern Valley Railway) was established in 1965 to preserve part of the line as a heritage railway. Today it has six stations and two halts and runs for 16 miles along the Severn Valley between Bridgnorth in Shropshire and Kidderminster in Worcestershire, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route. Operations involve a mixture of steam and heritage diesel-hauled services.
