45016, unidentified down working, Severn Tunnel Junction station
45016, unidentified down working, Severn Tunnel Junction station This shot shows a little of the vast expanses that made up Severn Tunnel Junction yard. Even by this stage, much of the track had been removed but it was still a busy place and great source of cops! 45016 was not, however, a cop! With its head code panel now replaced with the domino style markers it races through Severn Tunnel Junction with a westward bound express. I suspect that this working would have originated from the north and travelled down via Birmingham New Street, Gloucester and then along the side of the Severn Estuary through to Chepstow. Notice in the background the substantial ex. GWR water tower and behind that the original sheds (86E) still standing.
