LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Studley & Astwood Bank Station: mrstud597

British Railways built 4MT 2-6-0 No 43036 is seen at the head of the 5:10pm Birmingham to Ashchurch service on 22nd April 57. The Ivatt designed moguls became familiar sights on the line in the last years before closure. This elevated view shows the location of the station in comparison to the goods shed and signal box. Built at Horwich works in June 1948 No 43036 remained in service until it was withdrawn from Workington shed in May 1966 for scrapping by the Motherwell Machinery & Scrap Company based at Inshaw works.
