Summary

Description
English: Railway yard (now Soho depot) and triangular junction at Winson Green, Birmingham, England. These were part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway until nationalisation on 1 January 1948.

Each point of the triangle was considered a separate junction: Winson Green Junction (nearest camera), Soho Soap Works Junction (top left) and Soho East Junction (top right); see [1].

Line to Birmingham city centre behind the camera, and to Wolverhampton top left. The line to Perry Barr branches off to the right. The Soho Foundry can also be seen, as can Black Patch Park; both are in Smethwick. The border between Birmingham and Smethwick runs through the far side of the railway junction.

22 August 1948 was a Sunday, which may account for the lack of smoke or activity.
