Just one more of possible interest - taken Dec 2, 1961

I guess this is the replacement bridge for what we see in X7243 and
that=E2=80=99s the freight house showing as a distant blur to the right
of the tracks?

My old Brownie shot still shows a semaphore signal mounted on the
bridge.

Nothing more to offer except for some random shots of the passenger
station.
