Bridge Over The Midland Mainline

A class 45 bursts under the bridge with a St. Pancras bound express. When the line was electrified the footbridge from which this photo was taken was removed. All footpaths now use the brick bridge in the photo. Note the twin telegraph poles on the right of the line - once a common sight along our railway network, now largely gone. Note also the tall signals beyond the bridge. Each post carries two signal arms (only the top ones are visible here) so that the drivers can see the aspect of the signal from this side of the bridge and when they have passed under it.
