LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

SMJ Locomotives: smjsa124

An unidentified ex-WD 2-8-0 locomotive is seen crossing the bridge carrying the former SMJ route over the River Avon. The open wagons behind the tender appear to be mainly steel bodied vehicles built by British Railways in the 1950s. The railway bridge was widened in the 1990s to carry road traffic using the new road constructed from the site of the former Alcester Road level crossing to Shipston Road via the track beds of part of the former GWR Stratford upon Avon to Honeybourne line and the former SMJ line from Stratford to Fenny Compton.
