Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gloucester (Tramway Junction), with an LMS 0-6-0T shunting the Midland Yard.
View westward, towards Bristol (left) and the Great Western main line to South Wales (right). At this critical and busy junction between the main lines of the ex-Midland (Birmingham - Bristol) and ex-GW (Swindon/Birmingham - South Wales), there was a busy road level-crossing: constant shunting movements as well as main line trains kept two men occupied continuously working the gates and controlling the motor and pedestrian traffic - but it was a splendid place for the Train-Watcher. On the right is the ex-GW Horton Road Locomotive Depot, from which a small 0-6-0 Diesel shunter is emerging. Gloucester Cathedral can be glimpsed in the left background: the ex-LMS Eastgate Station was off the left and the ex-GW Central Station straight ahead. The engine shunting is LMS 3F 0-6-0T No. 47417.
