The old Hamworthy Branch of L.& S.W.R. at Lower Hamworthy is still used about once a week by a goods train. The locomotive seems to advance towards the Ferry Port - decouple - return on the other track towards the rear of the stock - switch to the original track in order to pick up the rolling stock and reverse direction. The locomotive in the photo is the "Vale of Pickering".
