South Staffs Freight - a photo on Flickriver

South Staffs Freight

            Trundling off the now disused ex-South Staffordshire Line on the approach to Pleck Junction at Walsall in February 1991 are Class 20s Nos. 20047 & 20133 heading what my notes describe as the 1230 ex-Brierley Hill steel empties. Unfortunately their destination remains a mystery, but at the time this was one of the few remaining workings along  the line. On the left is the 'main line' from Walsall to Bescot, while in the background can be seen the viaduct which carries the M6 Motorway over the railway and everything else in the locality. Although the line is now closed, and parts earmarked for future Midland Metro use, Network Rail did install a turn back siding for MGR trains to and from Rugeley Power Station to run round and not occupy key track space in  nearby Bescot yard. Typically, no sooner had the siding been installed and the power station closed. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
