08757 brings a short trip freight into Toton yards. The line used to serve sidings and presumably factories just under the bridge. The buildings behind the loco have been replaced by a modern warehouse. The gasometer visible through the arches of the bridge on the left has been removed though the site appears to still be a gas pumping station. The bridge was still in use when the photo was taken, but is now overgrown and the tracks have been removed.
