Heading the return working of the 'Zulu' special between London and Birkenhead, run to mark the end of through workings between those two places. Until a few seconds before this picture, it had been making a steady climb up the gradient, but at this point it seems that the driver suddenly opened the regulator to full port, with almost literally explosive effect. There was a sudden burst of black exhaust, as seen in the view. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6441319 .
