The image showcases an intricately detailed plan of heating, specifically highlighting the arrangement of radiators within this historical establishment. The control office itself exudes an air of importance and efficiency, as it served as a nerve center for managing train operations during that era. Its significance in facilitating smooth railway operations cannot be understated. This photograph provides a rare opportunity to explore the inner workings of such a vital hub. The meticulousness evident in this plan is truly remarkable; every radiator is meticulously marked and positioned with precision.
