The second of three mystery photographs submitted by Ted Talbot is of two Jumbos. This is Pouteau 16 and is shown in John Alsop's list as Whitworth no. 469 St George and another Jumbo leaving Carlisle. But where exactly is it? What is the train? What are the details of the stock?
As ever your help would be much appreciated.
If you can assist, please email the Webb Master.

| Although I cannot recall the location, the high banking and specific track layout, must surely trigger someone's mind! |

| The track layout could be Upperby West. This looks like an R.E.Charlewood photograph from the mid 1890s. The train appears to be an Up express. Will the pilot engine come off at Shap summit? Most of the stock looks like 8-wheeled non- corridor coaches. |

| Mike Barratt could well be right. Looking at Harold D. Bowtell's book, Over Shap to Carlisle, [pub 1983], page 44, the track layout is totally correct for Carlisle No. 13, Upperby Bridge Junction. Mike probably "gets the points"! |

| Very definitely Upperby Bridge Junction. Carlisle No. 13 box is just off to the left. |
