View NNW from the footbridge, towards Wood Green, Hatfield, Hitchin and the North. An Up stopping train, headed by an ex-GN Ivatt Atlantic is approaching on the Up Fast, while one J52 0-6-0T eases its way into Ferme Park Down Yard on the Down Goods No. 2 line (left), while another J52 comes over the Flyover that connected the Down Yard with the Up lines across the main lines. [With apologies for offering, as an 'atmospheric pseudo-painting', an image derived with much editing from a scan of a tiny print - but this gives an impression of the railways in the real Steam Age].
