This is the Blowers Green end of the Dudley railway tunnel, taken about a week after the line was closed to freight. The tracks are still there today but it's a bit of a job to see them through the undergrowth. The Dudley bypass now runs along the extreme right of this shot: during this visit, there was a notice warning people of its imminent construction in a kids' playground off camera to the right. There used to be a station roughly in the middle of this shot: the station building, which was remote from the platforms, still exists today, by the road bridge I'm standing on, just off camera to the left: see Brian Clift's photo at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1993404
