Looking sleek and shiny in the afternoon sunlight, London Midland Trains Class 172 345 Turbostar DMU allocated to TY - Tysley TMD (Birmingham) pulls away from Kidderminster railway station on a summer's day in 2016.
Class 172345 unit coach numbers are as follows: 50345 56345 79345.
This class of diesel multiple unit, seen here in the green, black and white livery of London Midland Trains, was built by Bombardier at their Derby factory between 2010 and 2011. A total of 39 commuter train units were built - 27 for London Midland Trains, 8 for London Overground and 4 for Chiltern Railways.
This DMU photo was taken prior to visiting the adjacent Severn Valley Railway where I was lucky enough to photograph ex-Great Western Railway steam locomotive, 7802 Bradley Manor as it left the station heading towards Bridgnorth.
That same evening when it grew dark enough, I was able to take a night photo with a powerful torch of a number of milk churns stacked on a platform barrow .
The milk churn photo is on the 'Along These Tracks' blog page - here.
