An unidentified ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 goods locomotive is seen approaching Duddeston Road Junction signal box

An unidentified ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 goods locomotive is seen approaching Duddeston Road Junction signal box. The train is travelling on the up passenger line and because the distant signal was 'on' Bob Essery states in the second volume of the DJ Norton series of books Pictorial Surveys of Railways in the West Midlands that its most likely destination was Lawley Street Goods Station although it might continue to Water Orton or further north. The locomotive has just passed over Duddeston Mill Road, a bridge girder can be seen to the right of the locomotive whilst to the left of the photograph and behind the small brick hut, the cutting within which the road is hidden can be seen.
