View eastward, towards Clapham Junction and Waterloo on the ex-LSWR main line to the West; on the right is the ex-LB&SC main line from Victoria to East Croydon and Brighton, etc. The train was noted at the time as 'Empty Stock' but has the headcode for the Salisbury line, so it might be the 11.54 semi-fast from Waterloo running late. The locomotive is Maunsell 'Schools' V class 4-4-0 No. 30903 'Charterhouse' (built 4/30, withdrawn 12/62).
