Midland Railway Locomotive Works

Midland Railway Locomotive Works was a major British railway workshop established in the 19th century, primarily responsible for building, maintaining, and repairing steam locomotives for the Midland Railway company. Located in Derby, it served as a hub for manufacturing advanced locomotive designs, contributing to efficient rail transportation. The works featured extensive facilities, including workshops, testing areas, and warehouses, enabling large-scale production and servicing. Over time, it evolved with technological advances, remaining a key part of the UK’s railway infrastructure until its decline in the mid-20th century as diesel and electric vehicles replaced steam engines.
