Down Milk empties at Clink Road, near Frome
View NE, towards Westbury, Reading and London; ex-GWR London - Reading - Westbury - Taunton etc. main line. (Just ahead of the train the Frome-avoiding line to Blatchbridge Junction commences). This is probably the very important Kensington - Plymouth Milk empties, returning tank-wagons to various Milk Depots in the West Country which supplied a large proportion of the capital's needs - before the age of Motorways. The locomotive is 4-6-0 No. 4941 'Llangedwyn Hall' (built 7/29, withdrawn 10/62).
