View of an unidentified ex-GWR 2-6-2T 'Prairie' locomotive which has been given the road to proceed towards joining the main line at Tyseley station. Bob Pixton states that the locomotive is emerging from a pair of goods sidings and to the south of the sidings were a pair of up and down goods loops. The two sets of signals seen seen above are fitted with arms that were short and fitted with hoops. This was a common method of aiding locomotive staff in busy areas where multiple sets of signal could be seen as denoted whether the signals controlled goods sidings etc or the main running lines.
