Along with the canal bridge in Wolverhampton the other significant gradients on the Metro line are the ones over the
viaduct at Handsworth. This structure was built to provide a non-conflicting route across the railway line into Queen's Head sidings,
which once served the cement terminal, and was used to run-round scrap trains from EMR at Handsworth which is on the other side of
the Metro line. Latterly Queen's Head sidings have been used as a scrap terminal in their own right. Tram 03 breasts the summit
with a northbound service at 14:04 on Wednesday 4th February 2009. Directly at the bottom of the gradient is Handsworth Booth St station.
