A fascinating photo of Bridport station in it's heyday. A passenger train is just drawing into the Up platform having possibly arrived from West Bay. Drawn by a 0-6-0 pannier tank locomotive the train unusually includes a bogie clerestory vehicle. In due course the train will depart for Maiden Newton where it will connect with main line trains. A large quantity of milk churns can be seen on the platform by the 'Coronation' siding where a milk van stands with doors open for loading or unloading. A track crosses the line at the end of the platforms and next to the railway is the Oil Storage Depot from where the towns Parafin and Petrol supplies were distributed. Supplies were received by rail and a standpipe may be seen adjacent to the depot form which the oil tank cars were unloaded. Below the oil depot is the locomotive shed where the two locomotives that worked the train service were stabled overnight. A long line of railway vans are standing in the goods yard which may indicate a special working of some sort. On an adjacent siding is a line of coal wagons and the shadows indicate that they are in the process of being unloaded. This is a reminder that all domestic and commercial coal was received by rail and indicates the importance of the railway to the business of the town at this time.
