Railway maintenance ‘Packers’ who maintained the track and fences from Goodwick to Jordanston Halt. So called “packers” because they ensured that the ballast was packed evenly around the rails to prevent the track from dipping or buckling.
Front left is Edwin James of Jordanston Hill and Tom Rees, Foreman, standing front right. Second from left is Tom Somers
