Looks like a 2-8-0 heavy goods loco, probably an ex Great Central Class 01 or 04 heading eastwards with a very long goods train.

The link line from the ex Great Central line, allowing their trains to stop at the ex Great Northern station and thereby serve the town.

This one is the Great Northern Railway's, the other one belonged to the Great Central Railway. Now they both are part of the London North Eastern Railway.
