Seen passing through the middle road at Walsall station in 1970 is Brush Type 4 loco 1997. Although the loco has full yellow ends she is finished in the old BR two-tone green colours. The train is 6Z61, a special tank service possibly from Rowley Regis to Teesport. Note the barrier wagon immediately behind the loco.
The photo was taken from platform one, which still retained it's buildings and roof canopy at that time. The middle road was eventually lifted, BR deeming it superfluous to requirements...

Very nice, if only the Down Slow was still extant. A most useful road i'm told.
