1908 GWR Steam Rail Motor Diagram R number 93 was running trips from Southall Platform no 1 down the Brentford goods line, by courtesy of The Great Western Society and First Great Western. Note the footprints on the roof round the
chimney, that had to be removed to get it under the bridges! Note Brunel's famous 'Three Bridges' where a road crosses the Grand Junction Canal with the railway in a cutting beneath the two. The Three Bridges bridge crossing is a unique transport intersection, that was designed and built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It was to be his last project before he died on 15 September 1859 just two months after its completion.
