Washwood Heath Siding No. 1 Shunting Frame - front view
A former Midland Railway signalbox, reduced to shunting frame status since 1969. Effectively redundant since the closure of Washwood Heath Sidings, the shunting frame's every move has to be co-ordinated with Saltley which ultimately controls activities. The original intent under the 1969 resignalling scheme was to retain a local facility to enable quicker shunting manoeuvres. The shunting frame will be replaced (along ultimately with Saltley itself) by computerised signalling from the West Midlands Signalling Centre, just across the road from Saltley.
