Early morning freight at Charlton

Travelling much earlier than usual, I found this train of empty aggregates wagons trundling slowly through the station at 6.40am. There are no paths free for freight through most of the day on this busy commuter line. See Image for further detail on this freight operation. What may look in the half-light like a chimney at the right of the photo is in fact a telecoms mast.
