Ryecroft Jn, just north of Walsall, was once the only one-into-four junction on British Rail (as far as I know). Right in the middle of these diverging lines was located a steam shed as well ! These days only two routes are left, and the shed closed long ago (see Jack Haddock's excellent recently published book - "Walsall's Engine Shed"). This view shows "Grid" loco 56301 coming off the Sutton Park line with a handful of containers destined for Grain docks in Kent. The Cannock line to Bloxwich, Hednesford and Rugeley can be seen curving away to the left.

What a beast! I never got any shots there strangely coming of the Park Line until this year! Nicely positioned shot that...
