And the inside of the Selfridge's Building in Birmingham looks like this...just look at the curves on that!
I never tire of visiting the Central Library in Birmingham. There are so many floors and so many angles to photograph, not to mention all those fabulous books, archives, maps and manuscripts.
390016, currently 390200 Railway 200, has climbed through the New Street tunnels and is now approaching Proof House Junctions working 1B41 12:47 Birmingham to London Euston. Behind the train is the vast Curzon Street site where HS2 will terminate along with the modern buildings of Eastside which contrast sharply of the workshops in the foreground.
The councils wanted to take away his best friend - a hawk at Birmingham City. A street photo that will tell a story.
Birmingham is a pretty great railroad town, and one nice aspect is how easy it is to work the city skyline into the background where the NS and CSX mains run parallel to each other through downtown. Looking more like a road train than a local, A28 is heading back to Norris Yard in suburban Irondale from Wilton with a recently re-activated SD70M-2 on the point. That construction site in the foreground is apparently for a new apartment development, hopefully it's set far enough back that it doesn't block the view here from the 24th Street bridge too much.
This Birmingham City Transport (previously called Birmingham Corporation Tramways) tram No. 395 is on display at the Thinktank science museum in the city. It was one of the last trams to run on the old network in 1953 on a journey from Steelhouse Lane to Short Heath on route No. 78.
There were a total of 843 trams (with a maximum of 825 in service at any one time), 20 depots, 45 main routes and a total route length of 80.5 miles (129.6 km). Birmingham Corporation built all the tramways and leased the track to various companies.
