Sack Barrow, London, Midland & Scottish Railway

Sack barrow, London, Midland & Scottish Railway. Wooden frame with two small wheels and metal bars at top and bottom rung.

A variety of different size trolleys and barrows were needed to transport passenger luggage or goods safely around the station. As the railways could be asked to carry virtually anything, this wheeled transport needed to be robust and versatile to ensure the goods remained undamaged while moving around the station.
