NZ2642 : Up fast freight passing through Durham Station

Up fast freight passing through Durham Station
View NE, towards Newcastle etc; ex-North Eastern ECML. The locomotive (LNE B16/1 4-6-0 No. 61415) - and the fireman - are working hard with a heavy Class C freight on the stiff climb through Durham station to Relly Mill Junction on its way towards Darlington and York.
An interesting(?) point about Durham Station is that the grid line on the latest OS maps seems to run directly through the centre of the building while your 1940 edition shows it clearly in NZ2642, so technically there is just as much NZ2742 in David Hawgood's photo as NZ2642! Perhaps you should show it in both...
