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,

Interesting timbering on the crossing(s) in the centre of the picture.    What looks like narrower timbers than normal and very close together - presumably to support the very short rails in the crossing.

Hi

I wouldn't fancy packing that lot.

Cheers Phil

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.

Hi Jim

It looks as if something has dripped off the condutor shoes there are faint signs in other places as well. 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 :)
