Made in Workington

Seen at Letchworth Garden City.

In days gone by, Workington had two main industries, coal mining and steel production. On the latter, Workington for a long while was world renowned for its making of rail. The above was taken at Letchworth Garden City on the  line that runs from Hitchen to Cambridge. I think 81 refers to the year it was made. I am reliable informed that Workington rail is to be found all over the world. Sadly its all gone now.
