View of ex-MR 2F 0-6-0 No 58178 is seen shunting in Monument
Lane New Wharf sidings on Tuesday 27th July 1954. The Wharf which was nicknamed
the 'Maltings' held only 89 wagons but also provided access to the private
sidings of S Thompson & Sons, brewers. The train from which the photograph
was taken has just emerged from New Street station's north tunnel whilst the
former Midland locomotive was one of several working on the 'Western Division
of the now defunct LMS. It carried the shed plate '3E' being allocated to
Monument Lane shed which was located immediately to the right of the tunnel
seen in this view.
