56101 Ryecroft Junction 15 August 1988

56101 passes Ryecroft Junction on 15 August 1988 with 7T65 07:30 Baddesley Colliery to Ironbridge Power Station MGR. In the background the course of the line to Brownhills can be seen. It had been lifted in 1983. Also just visible are the abutments of the bridge that carried the Willenhall to Aldridge line over the Brownhills route. Tree growth has hidden all this, and also made this location much more difficult for photography.
