Default When was Praed Street Junction built?

Did Praed Street Junction exist when the Metropolitan Railway opened
between Paddington Bishop's Road and Farringdon Street in 1863? Or was
the junction only added when the line south to Gloucester Road opened
in 1868?

In books about the Metropolitan one often sees a picture of a broad
gauge steam locomotive going over the junction, dated as 1863. But why
would the junction be there at that time?
