foreground and the assembled staff on the CLC side if the V-shaped
station buildings. On the extreme right are vans in the sidings on the
up-side of the main line, behind which is the tall Signal Shop building
completed in 1875.
The station name board reads – ‘’GODLEY – JUNCTION FOR GREAT CENTRAL & GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAYS AND OTHER LINES BEYOND’’

Loco No. 161 – one of 12 Class 12A engines built by the MSLR in 8/1885 –
this one was originally No.541 and was renumbered 161 in October 1893,
being scrapped in May 1915.
Many Thanks to Joe and David. Much appreciated .
Two more great pictures of the age of steam.

These are lovely photographs, don't these old stations look great, real character about them, and as for the old engine, wow, how good that looks, and it was scrapped nearly one hundred years ago, what a shame!
