A Clean Sweep of Ryecroft Junction?

            Ryecroft Junction on 16th April 1987, as Class 50 No. 50036 'Victorious' pilots Class 47 No. 47357 towards Walsall with the daily Lawley Street - Holyhead Freightliner. This work was regularly double-headed at the time, although quite how far the pilot loco, always a Saltley 'kick-out' job, actually went with the train. This is taken from North Road bridge, and the scene today has been transformed not only by a rationalised formation, but also the waste ground on the right has been built on, and Mill Road bridge (in the background) is now totally obscured by trees. In 1987, the branch to Birchill Power Station had been lifted, but its location can roughly be identified by the new track panels on the left. The Cannock Chase line diverges on the left, and a few remaining panels of the South Staffordshire Line to Lichfield, which closed four years earlier, can still be seen to the left of the train, which is approaching the junction off the Sutton Park Line.
