Up the Lickey Incline, Bromsgrove
Viewed from St Godwald's Road bridge http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5214358 looking towards the Finstall Road bridge. Bromsgrove railway station is behind the camera. The gradient is 1 in 37.7 (2.65%) for 3.2 km (2 miles). Such a gradient is trifling for road vehicles, but is significant for a railway - the Lickey Incline is the steepest sustained mainline railway incline in Great Britain.
In the steam era, to assist trains up the incline, or in some cases to provide additional braking on the descent, particularly for freight trains without brakes on individual wagons, specialised banking engines were kept at Bromsgrove shed at the bottom of the incline.

Railway north of Bromsgrove Railway Station, Bromsgrove, Worcs
This is the start of the famous two mile 1 in 37 Lickey Bank or Lickey Incline, which in the days of steam engines used to tax the locomotives to their limits. A second locomotive would be used as a "banker". Even today some diesel locomotives, particularly with freight trains, need a second locomotive.
