An unidentified ex-LMS 8F 2-8-0 locomotive sets backs 'wrong road' under the bridge with an engineer's ballast train

An unidentified ex-LMS 8F 2-8-0 locomotive sets backs 'wrong road' under the bridge with an engineer's ballast train. Clearly this is a Sunday when the Engineering Department undertook maintenance, a practice still retained today. On the left are other engineer's wagons filled with ballast. Note the 'E' on the wagon on the left, a letter 'D' would have painted on the other end of the wagon denoting it was allocated to Engineering Departmental use only.
