View northward, towards Mansfield etc.; ex-Midland Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop line (now the Robin Hood Line). Although it is July, the locomotive (Stanier 8F 2-8-0 No. 48395) is fitted with a snow-plough! The '52' on the front signifies the Trip Number (probably from Kirkby Sidings), but what the chalked 'T95 95' signifies I do not know.
