My eye is drawn to [[GWR 5700 Class 3650 |3650]] at Small Heath on 27.8.41 - locomotive preserved at Didcot and former visitor to the SVR--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 18:45, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Ian. There's a wealth of information there, but as you say the tricky bit is decoding it all. Looking at the entry on 29 August 1941, '''NE257, 8.20 Sal, f, at Bridgnorth 1.30'''. Adrian Turley's [[Bibliography#Books|The Railway at Kidderminster in the 1940s]] p. 106. confirms that 257 was one of three J25s allocated to Shrewsbury and used on goods trains to Kidderminster and Hartlebury. The [[Timetable:_Severn_Valley_Line_1948|post-War timetable]] still showed an 8.20 goods departure off Shrewsbury's Coton Hill yard which got to Bridgnorth at 12.33 and left at 2.10pm. That appears to confirm that in column 2 Sal is Shrewsbury (Salop) goods yard (with Sy being Shrewsbury passenger station), the station and time shown is the origin and that f is freight. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 20:10, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
