2511 1948-09-25 Barking
View westward, towards London on a Fenchurch Street - Shoeburyness train approaching Barking. Still with its LMS number, Stanier 3-cylinder 4P 2-6-4T No. 2511 is on ancient stock approaching old Midland signals. (The 3-cylinder 2-6-4Ts were the principal motive-power on the Tilbury Line trains in those days). The Tottenham & Forest Gate lines to/from Kentish Town are on the far side, beyond the LPTB District/Metropolitan tracks.
