Railway horses performed many duties, one of
which was shunting wagons or towing barges on
railway-owned canals. The North Eastern
Railway had a large brass featuring cut-out
initials, and the L.N.E.R., into which it was
amalgamated in 1923, carried on the tradition.
Two examples of their rosettes are shown.
Close neighbours, the Metropolitan Railway had
the distinction of the company name in full on
their studs and rosettes.
