Summary

Description

BR Class 55 Deltic locomotive, 55009 'Alycidon' - a threatened species at the time this photograph was taken - glides past still-extant remains of the era it replaced, with the arches in the background once the entrance to King's Cross 34A 'Top Shed' steam depot, and the large goods and coal yards. The line leading off, under the overbridge to the right, is still very much in use being the connecting spur to the North London Line, the overbridge of which the photographer is sitting beneath. The base of one time 'Belle Isle' Signal Box can be seen in the centre left between the remaining running lines. 1970s.
