Description
We're back to September 1986 with this upload, a time when most traction was still in BR blue. We see mostly freight action at Bescot Yard where the station sits very conveniently in the middle of the hugh freight complex that used to be there. We see freight and light engine moves with loco's 20 (including one single headed), 31, 47, 58 & 86 along with a couple of 312's on the Birmingham New-Walsall service including 312 204 in it's yellow livery. The 58 along with a pair of class 20s are in the Railfreight Red Strip livery. All in all some great traction from the days Bescot was a busy place and always worth a visit.
