Westbound express at Taplow ? 1976
Headed by an unidentified 'Western' diesel hydraulic locomotive (Class 50). The signal box is of interest as it is one of a relatively small number of the Great Western Railway's 1920s design of prefabricated boxes with steel framework and concrete block infill panels. The open area on the right was formerly occupied by the station goods yard.
