"Saltley Locomotive Depot: line-up on a Sunday in 1947." View northward in the yard of this major depot, which in those days had an allocation of nearly 200 locomotives, mostly for freight work to/from the great Yards at Washwood Heath and nearby. Foremost is LMS No. 8402, which was one of many built by the GWR at Swindon during the War (1943) and used on the GWR until 1946 - then again on the Western Region for several years in the 1950s; as No. 48402 it survived until 12/67.
