Entering Bescot up yard from the Walsall line... when you could still do that.

Pleck Junction with a van train - the 1960s power box is no longer with us nor the overgrown track in the foreground... or the van trains for that matter!!

Colwich on the WCML... coal trains are very rare these days and the four wheel MGR wagons are a thing of the past. 

One of the later series of class 20 heads north through Bescot station. 

A coal train heads through Rugeley Trent Valley station towards the power station at Rugeley.
