This photo was taken from a Victoria - Bromley South train in the 1970s. There is a turnout with a line crossing it as well as a view of a double slip. To add slightly to the complications most of the lines are electrified. John |

What looks like narrower timbers than normal and very close together - presumably to support the very short rails in the crossing. Jim. |

Just looking at the picture again, I'm intrigued as to what has caused the light marking about two foot outside the rails on the crossing road. I can't see similar marking on the other roads where there is no conductor rail. Jim. |

I wonder if it might be de-icer, if it was winter time when the photo was taken. Anybody else got any ideas? Cheers Phil |
