Photo by Rob Daly The site of Northam Station looking south in April 2008. The train is a car transporter bringing wagons from the wheel lathe in the SWT depot at Northam. It is reversing down to use the crossover just visible below the footbridge to gain access to the middle road and then use the crossover directly below the bridge to rejoin the mainline. On the left, the line of cars marks the route of the old 'Bull's Run' tramway to Belvidere Wharf (latterly diverted to Dibles Wharf before closure). The 'Main Line' is now single track by the time it reaches Chapel Road and Canute Road crossings just to the south of the photo.
