Washwood Heath Sidings: mrwhg348b

Close up of image 'mrwhg348' showing the arrival end of the Front Fan of Washwood Heath's down sidings with the majority of wagons being used to transport coal. In this close up, the main Birmingham to Derby line on the left adjacent to the line of telegraph poles is easier to see. In the background the tall chimneys of Birmingham's Electricity Station can be seen against the sky. The unusual pitch roofed van towards the rear of the third train from the left was of a type often seen in the transportation of salt.
