Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Dudley Railway
text:
The Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Dudley Railway was an English railway company promoted to connect those places by rail. It was authorised by Parliament in 1846. It became apparent that it would be advantageous to merge with the Great Western Railway. The rival London and North Western Railway went to great lengths to frustrate the amalgamation, but ultimately failed, and the merger took place in 1847. The line was constructed by the GWR and opened in 1854; the Birmingham station was Snow Hill
