Yes, they wouldn't want the fireman fried by the overhead cables, while standing on top of an engine's tender. It's those bits of railway history that photos like this record.

Thinking back, it seems a shame that trackside fixtures and fittings were generally ignored by most photographers. But then again, we had much more variety of locos to point the camera at.

I agree - I made a brief and limited attempt to record some of the Somerset and Dorset structures still standing at Highbridge in 1969. The cattle dock on Highbridge Wharf was one and there a a few more adjacent to that in the album - www.ipernity.com/doc/364457/26460317

A favourite location for me at the time. There was always something happening. Nowadays there are probably more trains, but 99% of it is DMUs...
