19870428.d.StantonGate.47324.Tanks.LR_filtered
Stanton Gate, 28th April 1987.
47324 heads north on fuel tankers.
(Some wires crossing the sky removed in PS).
Comparing this scene with today, there is no signal box, or buildings on the right.
Next, the fan of sidings has been lifted, and the lighting towers removed.
The rusty line next to the train is the Mapperley Goods branch, which goes into the Stanton Works site.
The goods lines to the left, and 99% of the view of Stapleford behind are hidden by trees.
The annoying thing is that the lone lamp post just in front of the 47 is still there!!!
