'Bordesley Morning' - Philip Hawkins, Fellow of the Guild
Railway Artists
A scene so commonplace that very few of us even bothered to take
a glance. Bordesley was the first station out of Birmingham Snow Hill heading
south and saw the passage of countless GWR pannier tanks every day on local
trip freight workings such as this in charge of No 4648 heading along the down
main line during the early 1960's. This engine was a Tyseley inmate for many
years and was built at Swindon in 1945. No 4648 was just one of a huge
collection of 57XX pannier tank engines that eventually totalled 863. Several
are now preserved.
