Ex-LMS 4MT 2-6-4T No 42586 is seen on a down New Street to Walsall local passenger service on 25th April 1955. The signals on the left are in the 'off' position meaning that the driver is cleared to proceed into the next section. The left hand signals controlled the section towards Bescot whilst on the right, these signals controlled access to Handsworth Junction for Soho Road and the main Wolverhampton to New Street line. Built as LMS No 2586 by the North British Locomotive Company in October 1936, No 42586 was to remain in service until November 1964 when it was withdrawn from 8H Birkenhead shed.
