The morning Southampton to Ripple Lane, Barking container train is about to pass Caledonian Road and Barnsbury station. The driver has just opened the power controller; the result a nice exhaust of black smoke. Out of sight on the right behind the platform is Holloway prison.

Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station on a wet November afternoon
The line through here was opened between 1850 and 1852 as the East & West India Docks & Birmingham Junction Railway. It was renamed the North London Railway in 1853. This gave a link from the Euston main line near Primrose Hill to the docks at Poplar via Bow. A station called Caledonian Road was opened in 1852 and existed until 1870 when Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station was opened as "Barnsbury" a little further east than the previous station. Barnsbury was renamed "Caledonian Road & Barnsbury" in 1893.
The line was electrified in 1916. All trains serving the station are now operated by London Overground, as well as frequent freight trains passing through. This view is from the eastbound platform looking in the direction of Camden Road. The line to the right is for freight.

Caledonian Road & Barnsbury Station
Looking west from the footbridge, we see the island platform now used by all North London trains, the left side for westbound trains and the right side for eastbound trains. The track on the extreme left, which was formerly used by westbound passenger trains, is now used by freight trains only, and the platform alongside it is now just used for access.
