View of a six-wheel milk tank wagon standing in the siding alongside the Creamery whilst in the background on the goods platform milk churns can also be seen. The six-wheel milk tank wagon was rated for use attached to an express passenger train reflecting the need to move such traffic quickly whilst the milk was fresh. Over the bufferbeam the pipe which drained the milk can be seen controlled by the handle immediately above. Milk was loaded through the access hole at the top of the tank accessed by the ladder.
