45112 'Royal Army Ordnance Corps' sweeps through Wellingborough station leading

and unidentified express service to St. Pancras. It is about to pass the Station signal box (just out of sight to the right) with Wellingborough Junction signal box's up main home banner repeater signal to the extreme right of the photograph. This stayed in use until 13th November 1983 when Wellingborough Junction signal box was closed. With the two arms raised in the foreground, a through down express was pegged. This vintage scene has changed beyond all recognition most notably with a vast new concrete road bridge installed between where I am standing on the platform ramp and Mill Road bridge in the background as well as the electrification paraphernalia. 45112 had just less than seven years in service but has survived into preservation.
