Technically not a very good quality photograph in tricky lighting sees 31218 passing Chesterton Junction just north of Cambridge. The Class 31 is leading a down train of Presflo wagons. I do not know where they may have been heading but there were flows of dried hydrate of alumina from Burtisland to Welwyn Garden City as well as sodium tripolyphosphate from Albright and Wilson at Corkickle to Procter & Gamble at West Thurrock both of which could well have passed this way, local advice appreciated! The train is passing the 1931 LNER box that was to close three years after this photograph was taken with the locomotive succumbing in 1988.
