Freight Trains @ Small Heath, Birmingham - 8th October 2025

Description
An hour and a half at Small Heath, primarily to see 'Black 5' 45212 on the Manchester to Stratford railtour.

Small Heath Caledonia yard is certainly very busy with aggregate trains these days - I guess as a result of the HS2 works going on in Birmingham - and that we saw three workings on a Saturday lunchtime is testament to this...

So three 66 workings in or out of the yard and 57305 on a Leicester to Reading light engine move...

Thanks for watching
