With the brake vans at both ends, this looks like one of the coal trains from Granville Colliery and Buildwas Power station which had to reverse twice, once at Wellington and again at Madeley Junction, hence the two brake vans.

Nick Coppin says "Rather than heading to to the power station, this coal train probably originated at Kemberton Colliery, reversed at Madeley Junction and is heading on the down line towards Wellington. It looks as if it is approaching Hollinswood Junction – the bridge in the background is the one that carried the road from Dark Lane to the A464 at Priorslee and the pit mound on the left is the remains of Dark Lane Colliery (all now under Telford Centre and Stafford Park).

It’s likely the train would stop at Hollinswood Sidings for marshalling, with some wagons then possibly proceeding to Wellington Town Goods Yard where there was a coal wharf".
