Ex-MR 0-6-0 3F No 43203 is seen standing on the down line running towards Church Road Junction. In the foreground the end of Five Ways station's down platform and to its right, the lineside hut used by a fogman to protect the signals seen in the foreground. When the fog was so bad that drivers could not see the signals, the railway's deployed men to place explosive charges on the rails to indicate to the locomotive crews what the signal would be displaying.
