No idea who they are, but I think the handle on the broom & shovel are cold so they are warming them up!

Not Members now but the
owners of the road rollers
where members and they came to roll it all out.

I think the engine is just by the concrete pad and walk way in to the station area. The 2 people would be by the signal box and the tree there now.

Get out the way Mister or else!!!!... The back of the engine is on the level crossing
