On a related thought does anyone know the story behind the water troughs at Edge Hill.
Even as a kid I was puzzled, how did water troughs make any sense so close to the line terminus, surely the purpose of water troughs was to extend the range of express steam locos?

I suppose they MIGHT have been for Express trains headed away from Riverside Station?? But didn't they switch locomotives (and tenders) at Edge Hill anyway?
