Close up of image 'mrdr966' showing the single entry and departure line to Saltley Shed which fanned out to provide reception roads. The next pair of lines are the down and up lines to Camp Hill whilst to their right are the down and up main lines, the latter with the ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 standing on it. Looking towards Saltley Shed we can see several timber 'footbridges' have been placed adjacent to the line on the left. They were designed to protect the cables and rodding operating the points and signals which ran off at 90° to the track and passing beneath the rails in between the timber sleepers.
