Shooting The Bow
A shot of Freightliner's 66 618 eases the late running 6Z34 22.25 Tunstead to Bow past Canonbury on the North London Line.
The train is running on the former 'No.1' freight lines between Camden Road and Dalston Kingsland. Since the North London Line upgrade work in 2010 and 2011 these AC powered lines now the Down & Up North London Lines for all freight traffic, as well as London Overground passenger services between Clapham Junction, Richmond and Stratford.
Visible on the left are the former 'No.2 lines' which are now used solely by London Overground East London Line trains, using third rail DC power, which operate between Highbury & Islington/Dalston Junction and New Cross/Crystal Palace/West Croydon & Clapham Junction (via Peckham Rye).
