Ryde Esplanade
O2 No W24 'Calbourne' has just left Ryde Esplanade and is heading for Shanklin on 21 September 1966. Wrong line working is in operation due to the impending electrification, although the activity on the closed line does not seem to be connected to this! This is an early example of top n tail working, as sister loco W17 'Seaview' is on the rear of the train and it will come off at Ryde St Johns. 'Calbourne' is still to be found on the Isle of Wight.
