On arrival at Postland whilst retracing yesterday's journey from Spalding

to March following the former GE & GN Joint railway the gates were closed and an up train was pegged by the signalman in the superb 1882 Great Northern box. 31287 and 31308 are seen heading south east leading what appears to be a rake of 16T vacuum braked mineral wagons. Trains such as this were becoming increasingly rare on the railways by the early 1980s so it was good to record one here. Today, whilst the station building and the box still stand, even if the latter is in a precarious state, the building to the left has been demolished.
