LMS Route: Grand Junction Railway

Hamstead and Great Barr Station: lnwrgb60a

Close up of image 'lnwrgb60' showing the two different types of carriages making up the four coach train and through the arch the signal box and sidings. The non-corridor coaching stock appears to be made up of two 'arc' roof brake coaches with five third class compartments and sandwiched between them two fifty foot 'cove' roof First/Third composite carriages with toilet compartments located in the centre between the two first class compartments. The signal box which was sited opposite the original down platform is just visible through the bridge. The sidings leading to the goods yard can just be seen with a box van and possibly cattle wagons behind turned 'white' with the lime used to clean and sterilise them between use.
