Crossing Eastern Way

The northern end of the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway terminated just over the level crossing at Eastern Way, Double Arches. Here the line went left for Arnold's yard, right for Garside's. Here is Garside's 31 (Motor Rail 7371/39), venturing out over the road with sand from Churchways Quarry, for tipping at the screening and drying plant at Eastern Way. There used to be a tall signal here, beside the line behind the drunken finger post. This photograph was taken on 28 July 1977, by which time, the connection with Arnold's yard had been severed.
