LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Castle Bromwich Station: mrcb1032

Looking West towards Castle Bromwich station with the junction signal box on the left from North of the station. The lines are from left to right: headshunt for the goods yard, down goods, down passenger, up passenger, up goods, with the down Walsall and up Walsall on the far right. The unidentified ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 is coming forward with a goods train having been shunted into one of the two refuge sidings located on the up side of the station. On the right is a short spur which acted as catch points ensuring any run away wagons would not foul either line to Walsall.
