Central Goods railway station

Central Goods railway station was a goods-only railway station in central Birmingham, England, on a spur connected to the Birmingham West Suburban Railway, which ran via a tunnel under the Worcester and Birmingham Canal which it was adjacent to.

It initially had facilities to handle 375 wagons, but was expanded gradually over the next fifteen years.

[1] It was located in approximately the intended location for the terminal station of the Birmingham West Suburban Railway but which was unable to raise the funds for the planned viaduct over the canal.

From the 1940s onwards, competition from road transport led to a decline in the use of rail freight.
