Summary
| Description |
English: Up freight approaching Saltley station. View southward from Saltley Road (now Viaduct), towards Birmingham New Street and the South: ex-Midland Derby/Leicester etc. - Birmingham - Bristol main line. This was an immensely busy stretch of railway. Saltley station (closed 4/3/68) was behind the camera and a little further north were the great Washwood Heath Yards; ahead was Saltley Junction and Lawley Street Goods station, then Duddeston Road Junction, where the Camp Hill line from Kings Norton joined - used by all freight traffic from the South and from the GWR, avoiding New Street station. This Class D freight is headed by Stanier 5MT 4-6-0 No. 44814 (built 1944, withdrawn 9/67). Not visible over to the right was the River Rea, worming its way between all the industry. |
