Birmingham New Street - Southern Approaches: mrbhm_sa2318

Looking East from the rear of a Diesel Multiple Unit on the former Midland lines into New Street at Proof House junction on 9th May 1955

Looking East from the rear of a Diesel Multiple Unit on the former Midland lines into New Street at Proof House junction on 9th May 1955. The DMU has just crossed the bridge carrying the railway over Fazeley Street and is now descending rapidly to pass under the former GWR line to Snow Hill before it emerges at New Street station. The signal bridge spanning both the former LNWR lines on the left and the former MR lines on the right has been upgraded since the earlier photograph (see image 'lnwrbhm_sa2332') and has been equipped with LMS upper quadrant signals in lieu of LNWR lower quadrants signals.
