Colchester Station
A train from the Clacton branch arrives at Colchester on route to London. The units of this type were built specifically for the Clacton and Walton services and were made up of either 2 or 4 coaches allowing the formation of 10 coach sets. All are now retired. The buffers in the foreground are there to slow and stop any trains that accidentally overrun the platform loop. The cross bracings are bolted to the rails and the flat bars between them are designed to collapse like accordion bellows with friction helping to halt the train.
