Having visited Horesmoor yesterday we returned today to find the

gates down and a train pegged. My notes state that we were the wrong side of the line with no time hence the shadows and the rather rushed composition of this photograph! However, some forty years later I don’t care as it contains so much of interest as a reminder of what the railways used to be like. 31289 leads a ridiculously short unfitted freight with the requisite brake van on the rear past the 1899 Great Eastern signal box located just south of March.
