45407 & 44871 cross onto SVR tracks at Kidderminster |
After arriving from Southall & reversing to beyond the SVR connection, the locos move onto the Severn Valley Railway. 45407 is uncoupled and sets back to take water, 44871 moves the support coaches forward and 45407 is coupled to the rear, to spread the load on Victoria Bridge when they head for Bridgnorth.
