The first of a sequence of photographs that I took from the leading droplight of the 1K68 17.52 Paddington to Westbury train as it approached its destination. My ability to take so many shots in close succession was due to me now having loaded an FP4 film in the camera provided by college rather than using my own supplied and very expensive Kodachrome 64! Looking into the evening light 50044 'Exeter' has just left the Westbury cut-off that is now curving away to the left out of sight and is about to pass the Heywood Junction home that is pulled off. The distant arm is Westbury North's and is still at danger meaning that our train will have to slow and even prepare to stop before it can enter the station probably caused by the train that can be seen crossing our path in the distance either leaving or arriving at Westbury travelling via the Avon Valley route. The two submissive arms on the shorter doll are for the chord that led to Hawkeridge Junction that at this time saw little use. A reverse angled photograph of this fine bracket signal can be seen taken the previous summer, see..... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/29513954004/x50041-18-35-london-paddington-newton
