Looking towards Water Orton from Washwood Heath Sidings No 1
Box with the unknown LMS 4F 0-6-0 standing in the pilot sidings. The sweep of
the main lines to and from Derby can be seen passing under the bridge carrying
the road, seen in image 'mrwhg346', which continues
on and under the LNWR's Aston to Stechford line.
The coal sidings and line to the Carriage & Wagon Co.
were immediately beyond the second bridge (the wing walls of which can just be
seen on the right) which is carrying the Aston to Stechford line. Beyond these
were the main down sorting sidings comprising 23 tracks all fed by the 'hump'
located by Washwood Heath No 4 Signal Box. 12th May 1961
