Swindon Works was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1843 at Swindon in Wiltshire, England. It served as the principal maintenance centre for the west of England until it closed in 1986, which means it worked for roughly 143 years. The works is recorded here as the builder named for the British Railways Standard Class 9F locomotive 92220 Evening Star, whose infobox lists Swindon Works as builder, so that the atlas can place that vehicle with the works that built it.
