5659, Cannock Road, June 1965 GWR 5600 Class 0-6-2T No. 5659 passes Cannock Road sidings, Wolverhampton with an up local goods train on 29th June 1965.
The lines in the foreground provided access to the closed Stafford Road shed.
Ex-LNWR 4P 4-6-0 Prince of Wales class No 5667 'Zamiel' is seen passing Whitemoor Brickworks on a four-coach local service to Leamington.
Built as LNWR No 401 by the North British Locomotive Company in December 1915, No 5667 gained its LMS number in May 1927 and as such remained in service until November 1934 when it was withdrawn to be scrapped by Crewe works.
Steam Locomotive 5668 was built at Swindon in 1926 and spent its working life in and around being allocated initially to the Cathays shed in Cardiff where it worked the local passenger and freight services. After just over 20 years there it moved up to the Rhondda valley working services from there until 1961. It then made its final move to the shed at Barry where it stayed until withdrawn in September 1964. In November 1964 it made the short journey to Woodham Brothers scrapyard at Barry where it remained until August 1987.
