    Thanks for posting this. I model this train and time period. Could the location be Bolton with Highway 50 in the background?

    Most likely Tottenham. I wasn’t aware that there was a siding there until recently.

    It looks quite the same to me – bridge structure, codeline, and position of the railway at the linked address above.
