Does this help?

72 and a half? Wheer did the GW originate their posts? I thought Paddington.

 

[Rob R]

172 1/2 ?

 

[Dave Holt]

Or is it 172 and a half? - somewhere near Chester? If it's 72, then Banbury area? - Just guessing the mileages.

Oh, that WD (90189)

 

[Ressaldar]

It appears to me that the train is entering a ”goods loop” and there is another loop terminating closest to the camera. There also appears to be another line to the left of the signal. A study of OS maps is called for.

Yes, it looks like the train is actually entering a loop, and there’s another track to the right.

according to the oracle that is Google AI, the GW installed their mileposts on the down side, (refers to SRS, whom I believe) and they measured from the Eastern boundary of Padd.

so we have a pair of goods loops in WR territory with a further line (siding?) on the down side, and the trap on the up line ends in a stub rather than the ballast. And it’s 72.5 or 172.5 miles from PDN.

Your 172.5 milepost is here just north of Shrewsbury.



Otherwise 72 miles puts you near Tackley on the line from Oxford to Anyho Junction which is just double track.

I'm surprised the GW didn't claim/make Smithfield as their Eastern boundary .

Give Dave a gold star!
