The Great Eastern Railway (GER) was a pre-grouping British railway company, whose main line linked London Liverpool Street to Norwich and which had other lines through East Anglia. The company was grouped into the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923.

There he stayed for seven years until moving to the Midland Railway (MR) at Derby, where he stayed until his retirement in 1904.
