Peat at Worcester

In the summer of 1966 a green liveried 'Peak' class diesel locomotive has taken the centre lines at Tunnel Junction on its way to Worcester Shrub Hill with an inter-regional express. There are plenty of wagons and other rolling stock in the marshalling yard and a GWR type water tower still in-situ on the right. Photograph taken by Andrew Smith.
