On the left LMS 4F 0-6-0 departs with the 3.20pm from Bath Green Park to Templecombe. Arriving is 76014 (built Horwich 5/53, withdrawn 9/66) with the 1.10pm from Bournemouth to Bath. They are both about to pass over one of the two notorious level crossings in Radstock that caused much frustration to motorists on the A367 Fosseway. The other crossing (over the GWR line) is immediately to the left of the one seen here. The two lines ran alongside each other for almost a mile westward from here. Date of photo uncertain but it was a wet day in June or July 1964! This photo was taken from the end of the platform shown here: Image
