Neasden Junction Coal - a photo on Flickriver

            On a summer's evening in May 1988, the nominally daily MGR 7O85 Toton to Northfleet heads south past the switched out signal box at Neasden Junction behind large loco liveried 56097.

The train is heading for the Blue Circle cement works at Northfleet providing coal to operate the kilns at the plant.

Neasden Junction is on the freight only line connecting the Midland mainline at Cricklewood with the Great Western mainline and the Southern Region via Kew.     

Surprisingly, in early 2022 the three signal boxes on this route at Dudding Hill, Neasden Junction and Acton Canal Wharf are all still operational.
