Clink Road Junction
The West of England mainline with the Frome line diverging on the right. The netting suspended across the railway line at this point is temporary - there was maintenance work being carried out on the national grid network of pylons in the area.
The train in the foreground has just come off the Frome branch and is the 2D03 service from Weymouth to Bristol Parkway - departing Weymouth at 05:33 and due at Parkway at 08:29. It called at Frome at 07:04 with next stop Westbury.

Clink Road Junction and Signal Box, 1984
Taken from a train crossing over to take the line to Frome, diverging right. The 'box is long since gone as the junction is controlled remotely, but the sloping path and handrail on the right can still be seen.
Interestingly, the 114½ milepost seen outside the 'box is not measured by the direct route from London, but the original route via Swindon and Melksham. The actual mileage from London via the later, more direct route via Newbury, is about 15 miles shorter.

This is probably the very important Kensington - Plymouth Milk empties, returning tank-wagons to various Milk Depots in the West Country which supplied a large proportion of the capital's needs - before the age of Motorways. The locomotive is 4-6-0 No. 4941 'Llangedwyn Hall' (built 7/29, withdrawn 10/62).
