Old and new technology at Chartham station separated by 110 years! A 2009 built Hitachi Javelin 395017 crosses the level crossing that is controlled by a crossing box built in 1895 forming the 12.53 Margate to St. Pancras. In DC mode these units are capable of 100mph, not a speed that it will be doing on this section of line! The picture is taken form Chartham station's footbridge.
