Even modern digital cameras struggle with extreme contrast! The deep shadows at Martin Mill station have created havoc with the camera's exposure system. Despite using Photoshop, the sky and background is still too bright and lacking colour with the foreground too dark! Either way, Javelin 395028 passes through the quiet station at Martin Mill working the 15.25 London St. Pancras to St. Pancras out and back working. Martin Mill station opened in 1881 and, until 1998 had a tiny signal box with associated semaphores that was built in to the station building. A similar arrangement still exists at Hammerton on the York to Harrogate line in Yorkshire.
