Default When was Praed Street Junction built?

In article , Paul Cummins
writes
Does anyone know how far toward
South Ken the broad-gauge rails ran, and whether they were ever used?


They didn't, as can be seen if you take a look at the tunnel width at the
junction. The lithographer used artistic licence.


It's not clear to me that the tunnel width is insufficient. Remember
that broad gauge trains overhung the rails far less than narrow gauge.
