1898 - Watching the trains go by on a summers day at Wood Green Station

Let’s go back in time 122 years! It’s the summer of 1898, and we’re briefly at Wood Green (now Alexandra Palace) railway station for some Victorian steam action. A Stirling E1 2-4-0 locomotive passes the camera on the centre road down mainline with a through passenger train to the North. It is then followed by another northbound fast. A Kings Cross bound express passes as the North London commuter train to High Barnet pulls in to the platform.
