Close up of image 'lnwra2358' showing some of the
platelayers aligning the rails to meet the track passing through the station.
In the platform on the left are several open wagons which would have carried
the ballast or other materials. Also on the left adjacent to the bridge is a
lit brazier which probably was used to heat up pitch to seal the join between
the steel bridge and the brick abutments. To the right of the man holding the
bar acting as a lever is a red flag located on a temporary buffer.
