![Waterloo - Salisbury train passing Raynes Park. View eastward, towards Wimbledon and Waterloo: ex-LSW Waterloo - Woking and the West main line; junction of the line to Epsom, Dorking etc. - controlled by the signalbox behind the locomotive. The 18.54 Waterloo - Salisbury semi-fast is headed by SR rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34048 'Crediton' (built 11/46, rebuilt 3/59, withdrawn 3/66).
