- Description:
- The tracks running diagonally from the lower left to the upper right portion of the picture are the L & N main tracks. The track running across the photo is the Southern main line. The Southern switches passenger coaches over these L & N tracks. Notice the cars on the adjacent tracks which obstruct the view of the crossing and which make it hazardous. Notice the weeds and tall grass along tracks as well the the wires overhead; these are all hazards.
