Washwood Heath Sidings: mrwhg634
Another view of Washwood Heath Sidings No 4 Signal Box with
the Brake Van road immediately behind the box and the cooling towers in the
distance. Trains of wagons that had arrived at the Down Arrival roads would be
reversed past Washwood Heath Sidings No 3 Signal Box and past Washwood Heath
Sidings No 4 Signal Box onto the shunting neck. The Brake Van would then be
released to stand on the siding alongside No 4 signal box allowing the
locomotive to propell the wagons forward in to the appropriate siding. Each
siding was allocated for traffic to be forwarded to specific locations, such as
Lawley Street, Camp Hill, Cheltenham, Bromsgrove, Longbridge, Bordesley for
local traffic, Bordesley for Banbury, etc. 31st October 1971
