Well I might have somthing that may help.

According to the STN 3801 was tabled to travel through Sydenham at 611pm
but it wasn't tabled to stop.  It also showed that 3801 went up the 
mountain under its own power.

This in itself raises another question:

What time did 3801 pass through Sydenham?  Was it running late?
