View NW, from Ruckhold Road bridge; ex-Great Eastern major London marshalling yard, beside the Cambridge main line from Stratford via Tottenham. The photograph shows the size and extent of this Yard, which in the 1950s handled 4,500 wagons per day. To be seen are two of the numerous ex-GE 0-6-0Ts which used to handle the shunting and local trips, also over to the right one of the 0-6-0 Diesel shunters that replaced them, while in the centre a newly introduced BR Standard 4MT 2-6-0 heads (tender-first) an Up freight.
