Class 37 at Essendine
37072 at Essendine - 25 May 1979. Essendine, on the ECML between Peterborough and Grantham, was an excellent location to observe and photograph trains before the line was electrified. This pic was taken from the farm occupation bridge which gave views both north (as here) and south. A few hundred metres south of here the main road (A6121) bridge gave an excellent view south over the site of Essendine station.
Essendine station was formerly the junction for branches to both Stamford and Bourne. The Bourne branch closed in 1957, and the Stamford branch (along with Essendine station) closed in 1959.
