Camp Hill Station: mrch864a
Close up of image 'mrch864' showing Camp Hill Goods and Grain
Warehouse and the main sidings in the yard on 22nd August 1954. One shunting
engine was rostered to service Camp Hill. Bob Essery recalls that at the time
of nationalisation (1948) this locomotive was a Class 1F 0-6-0T but this was to
be replaced by the ubiquitous 0-6-0 Diesel shunter. Arriving on the Monday
morning the Diesel was able to stay at Camp Hill for the whole week being
manned by men out stationed from Saltley shed. In addition to the facilities
seen above, there was a small coal wharf at Highgate Road which was on the
Brighton Road side of Camp Hill station.
