6110 1960-06-13 Westbourne Park

With Westbourne House and the Green Lane bridge carrying the Great Western Road in the background and the London Transport Hammersmith & City platforms on the extreme right of the picture (out of view), the line on the extreme left is the down Engine and Carriage line to Old Oak Common East. ‘61xx’ 2-6-2T No. 6110 heads a Down suburban service at Westbourne Park on 13th June 1960. The main line station remained in use until March 1992. Visible on the original negative, the guard has his hand on the safety bars and is looking out of the end window of the brake compartment, probably suspicious of the photographer!
