Copyright photo with permission from Britain from Above A mixed passenger/goods service is seen departing from Londonderry Victoria Road in 1948. At the head of the train is CDR locomotive 'Columbkille'. The photo was taken after recent rationalisation work had been carried out which included closure and demolition of the station signal cabin. Disturbed ground close to the photographer indicates where point rodding from the signal box had previously been.
