At Eckington the Birmingham and Gloucester railway crosses the River Avon by means of this impressive bridge.
Class 47 locomotive No.47733 'Eastern Star' is seen crossing the River Avon bridge with train No.1S81 12:44 Plymouth to Shieldmuir parcels on 28th July 1999. This photograph by Adrian Booth was taken from the public footpath that is part of the Eckington Wharf Circular Walk.
This old postcard makes an intersting contrast to the view of the diesel shown above.
