Taken from a passing train. The locomotive (unidentified) is one of the 'Austerity' type saddle tanks of which the NCB purchased considerable numbers, either second-hand from the Ministry of Defence or as post-war new build. The rather antique semaphore signal is typical of survivors on the more extensive colliery networks, which often had a rudimentary signalling system.
