55003, 15.00 London Kings Cross-Aberdeen (1S31), Eaton Wood SK723773 55003 'Meld' plunges down the 1:200 gradient on its approach to Retford about to pass Eaton Wood leading the 15.00 1S31 King's Cross to Aberdeen. The building level with the rear of the train is the old crossing keeper's house at Gamston level crossing. There was also a signal box at this remote location halfway along Causeway Lane until the box was abolished. I have no details when the box was closed but, I suspect that it was the early to mid 1970s? Keywords: 55003 15.00 London Kings Cross-Aberdeen 1S31 Eaton Wood SK723773
