View southward, towards London on the ex-Great Northern ECML. This is the returning empties of the premier Fish train which rushed North Sea fresh fish from Grimsby etc. to London before the Motorway Age - at much higher speed than can even now be achieved by road. The locomotive is V2 2-6-2 No. 60941.
