66618 brings a train of Lafarge cement tanks through Gladstone Park. Currently only around a dozen trains use this line during weekdays, so trying to photograph one is a case of waiting more in hope than expectation. Just visible behind the train is a semaphore signal - these are still used on the line between here and Acton. It is rumoured that they will be replaced by coloured lights during Christmas 2010. Behind the bridge on which I am standing is Dudding Hill Junction - see Image by David Hawgood - at which the train will take the left hand route to join the St.Pancras to Leicester mainline in a northbound direction.
