View NE, towards Gospel Oak, Camden Road, Highbury etc. The NLR was a major route for freight traffic between the Depots and Yards of North and East London and those to the West and South. Freight trains, hauled mainly by LMS but also by LNE and SR locomotives, were fitted somehow between the Broad Street electrics on just a double track west of Camden Road. This particular train is headed by LNE ex-Great Northern J6 0-6-0 No. 4239 and will have come from Ferme Park Yards via Gospel Oak.
