Ex-LNWR 0-8-0 G2a No 49373 approached Old Walsall Road
overbridge on a down freight to Bescot shed circa 1960. The cleanliness of the
ballast with no staining throughout the length of track seen in both directions
would indicate that this section of line gad recently been re-ballasted. Built
at Crewe works in October 1903 No 493 73 was to remain in service until
December 1962 when it too was withdrawn from 21B Bescot shed.
