H class 31518 on 29th May 1961 had previously arrived in the Up platform on the right, the passengers have left the train and the 0-4-4T has gone over to the take on more coal from the 16T mineral wagon in the goods yard. It will then collect the pull-push set and move to the Down platform after the departure of the next electric train to Gillingham, to form a connecting service to Allhallows. It will leave the main line at Hoo Junction, 3 miles 24 chains east of Gravesend. Pull-push trains normally ran with the engine facing Gravesend.
