View SW from the south end of Trent Station; ex-Midland major junction of the London - Leicester - Sheffield and Derby etc. - Nottingham main trunk lines. The Junction remains a focal point of trunk lines, but Trent Station itself served little purpose for passengers except to change trains and was closed on 1/1/68. The Class F empties is no doubt bound for Toton Yard a mile or two to the north and probably came off the line from Burton-on-Trent via Castle Donington: it is headed by Stanier 8F 2-8-0 No. 48559.
