John Fowler 0.6.0DH (4240017/66) working at the APCM cement works at Houghton Regis in October 1975. The works was opened in 1925/26 and was connected to the ex-GNR Dunstable to Luton line via a triangular junction. The train here is seen on the short line between the two, propelling wagons from Northfleet. Cement production had ceased in 1971, the factory now being a distribution centre only. This closed in July 1988 and the whole area demolished. I think that the route of the line here is being incorporated into the Luton busway, as a means to access Houghton Regis.
