Sir Hectimere
Belle Isle Re-visited - 55 009
This Deltic locomotive, now itself a threatened species at the time this photograph was taken, glides past still extant remains of the era it replaced, with the arches in the background once the entrance to Kings Cross 34A 'Top Shed' steam engine depot, and the large goods and coal yards. The line leading off, under the overbridge to the right, still very much in use being the connecting spur to the North London Line, the overbridge of which the photographer is sitting beneath. The base of one time 'Belle Isle' Signal Box can be seen in the centre left between the remaining running lines. 1970s.
Camera: Olympus OM1 35mm SLR.
Film: Fuji
