Signalbox 1962-08-25 Willesden Junction
Willesden Junction, eastward to West London Junction. Beside No. 3 Box, the view is towards Euston, with the West London Line curving away to the right. It is a Summer Saturday: over to the left 'Rebuilt Jubilee' 4-6-0 No. 45736 'Phoenix' heads the 10.57 Walsall - Hastings and is about to turn south to Kensington Olympia, while the 10.45 Hastings - Wolverhampton High Level is approaching with Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34101 'Hartland': both trains will change locomotives here. In addition a 350HP shunter is stabled in the yard and a class 20 heads down towards Kensington Olympia with a freight made up entirely of mineral wagons.
