Move back the YG slightly - you have a pic very similiar to the one taken by John Lacey.

Very rare pics, apart from John Lacey's collection(?). The area above the loco's cow catcher seems choc-a-block with freeloaders.

Lovely pic, - would have been great if that Y- shaped water hose and the telegraph pole weren't in the pic. Sigh! No photoshop, those days!

A very rare shot i must say! Observe an additional headlight below the main headlight, on the YAM1.

Green WDG4 looks good.

And the station looked pretty much like this until the year 2000 at least.

I assume that you guys mean "shadow" by "reflection"?

SPI means Shunt Permitted Indicator.However,conventional Shunt signals like the one mounted on the main post are also called SPIs.However the function of the special signal is difficult to guess unless the yard layout is studied closely or maybe someone could ask the station staff?It seems the signal is an improvised unit and has a mesh grille on both the sides which implies that its meant to be visible from both sides?One purpose of the SPI may be to indicate the route and is displayed in conjunction with the shunt signal.
