LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Barnt Green: mrbg617a

Close up showing Barnt Green's new goods yards facilities installed after quadrupling of the main line to Birmingham

Close up of image 'mrgb617' showing Barnt Green's new goods yards facilities installed after quadrupling of the main line to Birmingham. The signal box also had to be replaced although it was sited within a few yards of its original position, just a few yards further away from the main line. The purpose of the post by the buffer stop was to act as a 'stay' to the very tall signal located on the up main line. The notice fixed to its side instructs 'PASSENGERS MUST CROSS THE LINE BY THE BRIDGE' with the smaller notice on the right stating BEWARE OF TRAINS.
