Not the best view of the locomotive itself, but I have included this view for the geographical information it contains. The line curving away to the right is one of many freight connections in the Carlisle area, where there was a complex layout of railways due to the multiplicity of railway companies involved. That particular section of line, which was the LNWR connection into Crown Street Goods Station, has disappeared without trace, so worth being recorded. The triple gable of the goods shed can just be distinguished to the right of the locomotive, together with rakes of covered wagons and a shunting locomotive.
