GWR 1338 on the S&D

GWR 1338 on the S&D
Taken in the 1950s with a Kodak box camera and captured on the Somerset and Dorset Railways Bridgwater North to Edington Junction Line which had by then been connected to the GWR Docks branch at Bridgwater North station, The employees in the photograph are setting the points to allow access to John Boards brick and tile works siding which sat at the start of the 1 in 72 bank that raised the line over the GWR Main Line and the A38 trunk road which was at that time the main route to the West Country.

That would seem to be a very unusual photo showing the mix of the two companies, although they did run over each other's territory at Wells and when exchanging goods traffic at Highbridge. A real find, thanks for bringing it to the S&D group.

Thank you, It would have been after the line closed to passenger traffic in 1952 because no connection to the GWR existed at that time.

This is a cracker Roger, I thought if this place is still accessible and you could take the same shot over it would make a very good now and then double.

Thank you Maurice, this was taken from the front of the house we lived in at the time sadly the railway has long since closed and the surroundings have changed dramatically, in fact one of my daughters has her business yard and storage on this site now.
