Ealing Broadway freight, August 74

Ealing Broadway,  August 1st 1974

“Non stop freight at Ealing Broadway” I’d been told by other enthusiasts, so a day there beckoned. The gen is shown below, freight movements in the 5 hour session in bold, “non stop freight” being a youthful exaggeration it seems.

Happy memories, none the same!
