On the western approach to Snow Hill Station under Kenyon Street bridge, waiting for a through passage. The approaches to both the main railway stations tended to be pretty gloomy, particularly from the west. The Hall class were classed as mixed traffic locos but only towards the end of steam operation would they normally be allocated to unfitted freight working like this.
