This late 1986 shot shows 20123 preparing to leave Wednesbury with spoil empties, probably to Bescot. It still sports its Motherwell
salmon logo, having not long been re-allocated to Bescot. Its stay in England would be brief as it was withdrawn in April 1987. The
spoil sidings are to the left of the loco, and the gantry crane at the steel terminal is visible in the distance to the right.
Everything in this view is long gone of course, but there are still railway sidings here as it's the land on which the Midland
Metro depot stands. A camera in this spot today would be on the depot access roadway at the south east end of the site, looking
along the main stabling sidings from the buffer stops end.
