A Peak Class diesel is working hard on a Northeast to Southwest expess (1V76 to Penzance) as it crosses the viaduct over the canal & Bristol Road in Birmingham. Queen Elizabeth Hospital forms the backdrop. By 1975 the Midland Railway station, opened in 1876, was unmanned & uncared for. The glass in the platform awning had gone & the buildings were derelict. It was demolished and replaced by a modern structure a few years later.
