Marlow lies at the end of a branch railway line, which it has been fortunate to retain. The station is near to the pub, and in the days of steam the service was affectionately known as the Marlow Donkey. Today it is operated by diesel multiple units. The engine and carriage shown on this sign can be seen in a black & white photograph by John Bristow taken on the 11th February 1962. Image Judging by the similarities between the two, especially the person with their head out of a window, the sign appears to be based on the photo but with the addition of colour and impressive clouds.
