The station is substantially complete, although some men are working on the platform on the right, and, halfway along the left hand platform, a man is standing on a stepladder, apparently making an adjustment to one of the hanging glass gas lamps. A steam locomotive is standing on the single track, midground right. Note the line of posts running along the length of the central island platform.
