Saltley Shed - Part One
Mick Bramich writes "Sundays again, when you could bunk the
shed with ease. Somerset and Dorset 0-4-4Ts and Fowler 2-8-0s were regular
visitors on their way up to Derby for shopping after the closure of Highbridge
works. Other visitors included ER 4-6-0s and 2-6-0’s. I also saw a
Robinson 2-8-0 of the old Great Central on shed. It had hauled a goods train
from the south west on a previous Sunday as I had seen it on the Lickey
Bank.
Another attraction of the site was the close proximity of
the Metropolitan-Cammel works across the line from the shed. All sorts of
oddities such as London Underground stock and various experimental diesels
turned up on their sidings."
