Technically not a great photograph and showing poor levels of composure but I have included it for its unusual location! When taking a Southern service back from the West London line to the WCML the trains pass under the latter before remerging on the east in order to access the down slow line. In doing so they pass the northern end of Willesden yard and if one is lucky a northbound freight can be seen held at a red signal waiting for the train you are on to pass. On this day, 90042 is held leading the 4M63 09.12 Felixstowe to Ditton Freightliner seen as we climb back to mainline track level and slot in front of it. Without being on a passing train there is no chance whatsoever of getting a photograph at this location hence its inclusion!
