GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Acocks Green & South Yardley Station: gwrag1024
An unidentified ex-LMS 4-6-0 'Black Five' is seen at the
head of a down express service emanating from the south. The signal box was
opened in 1907 when refuge sidings were installed and because of its location
did not need to be moved when the line was quadrupled. With 33 levers it
remained in service from 1907 until 1969. Note the fact that the timber GWR
station sign has been replaced by a British Railways enamel version.
