E&WJR 2-4-0T No 5 is standing in the station with a three coach service ready to depart for Broom Junction on 20th April 1897. Robert Ferris writes, 'the above photograph appeared in the August 1945 edition of the Railway Magazine with a caption stating that it appears to be EWJR 2-4-0ST No 5 having brought the train in from Blisworth'. The photographer, SWA Newton, is better known for his photographs of the building of the Great Central Railway. The photograph was supplied by George Dow from his extensive collection.
