Washwood Heath Sidings: mrwhg627a

Close up of image 'mrwhg627' showing the brick hut and behind on a raised embankment, the shunting line for the Front Fan or Goods Bank. This set of sidings were sited at the far end of the yard, opposite the access to the up Reception Sidings which were located the other side of the main Birmingham to Derby line. On the ground in front of the brick hut can be seen the wooden staves used by the shunters which were used to operate the brake levers on the wagons.
