...from Dudley Zoo


Dusk falls over Aldridge on the evening of 6th August 1959 as 2-6-0 "Crab" loco number 42846 races past the junction for Walsall Wood with a returning excursion from Dudley Zoo to Leicester.

The large building on the extreme right of the picture is the Midland Railway goods shed. Dumblederry Lane bridge can be seen to the rear of the train at the left.

An excellent capture from the lens of rail photographer Pete Newell.
