Station Name: MILDENHALL
[Source: Darren Kitson]  . Class E4 No.62785 departs from Mildenhall with an unidentified service circa early 1957; an ex-GER brake third + Gresley composite set is in use. The ex-GER brakes were withdrawn during 1957 and replaced with Gresley brake thirds. The scissors crossing can be seen in the foreground; it allowed access to the station from the goods yard; to the dock either via the goods yard or the loop avoiding the goods shed. It could also be used for locomotives running around trains and indeed was in the case of goods trains. The lock-up and cattle pen can be seen in the left background.
