GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Solihull Station: gwrs1027a

Close up of the goods yard and sidings situated on the Birmingham side of Solihull station and the signal box that controlled both station and yard

Close up of image 'gwrs1027' showing the goods yard and sidings situated on the Birmingham side of Solihull station and the signal box that controlled both station and yard. Whilst the goods shed was sited in the goods yard at the Leamington end of the station this goods yard was for handling coal and coke traffic as can be seen in image 'gwrs271a'. One of the two locomotives is an up local passenger service whilst the other is standing in the sidings and maybe a goods train reversed into the yard to make way for the passenger train.
