A scene from the 1930’s at Tutbury Station showing the “Noahs Ark Train”. A local farmer from Scropton decided to relocate to Leamington, so he chartered a train from LMS and moved the whole farm including all the animals by rail.

On the day of the move the train left Tutbury at 10:00 AM and by 2:00 PM all the animals were running around on their new farm in Leamington.
