Slowly decaying in a siding at Market Bosworth on the Battlefield Line is Andrew Barclay 400hp 0-6-0 diesel-hydraulic (works No..594), 8th July 2023. AB594 was built in 1974 for the National Coal Board and initially used at Dawdon colliery moving later to the Hawthorn combined mine and coking plant.
Nottingham Suspension Bridge, Victoria Embankment, 8th October 2018. Interestingly the bridge was built primarily to carry a water main linking Nottingham with Wilford Hill reservoir over the River Trent and is currently owned by Severn Trent Water. The bridge was opened in 1906 and was refurbished between 2008 and 2010 at a cost of £1.9M. Along with the major water main the bridge also carries two major gas mains. It is a Grade II listed building.
CP 2224 and 2211 move down to the switch at the east (south) end of the Thief River Falls yard while moving around CPKC 241 that is occupying the mainline. The four hoppers look like the type for Thunderbird Commodities in Mahnomen. This power set just returned from a round trip to Lake Bronson to drop off gondolas for collecting used ties. They are now on their way out of Thief River Falls for local service.

East Midlands Railways 43059 approaches Market Harborough working 1B23, 06:34 Leeds – St Pancras, 8th January 2020.
Locomotive History
43059 was built at Crewe Works and entered service in August 1977 as part of HST set 254002 for East Coast Main Line duties. Since 1991 it has been a regular performer on the Midland Main Line and has been fitted with a Paxman VP185 engine in lieu of its original Paxman Valenta.
Dipping into my photo archives in past weeks I found this shot in the Pornic file. Until I became used to it, the naming of places after important dates did seem a particularly French custom. This date resonates with me and brings to mind the concluding pages of my father's diaries.
In the early hours of 8th May 1945, my father was in a column of prisoners being marched away from the PoW camps. They had reached the German-Czech border, after a 'stopover' in a tin mine at Zinnwald. My dad saw the guards shine their torches down and feared they would have no option but to sleep on the wet ground. He suggested to his pals that they leave the column.... Which they did. Unnoticed.
There followed a time of living on their wits for food and shelter, plus a few adventures, until they met three American ex-PoWs, who had found a 15 cwt truck. My dad and his mates hitched a lift to Pilsen where they were officially registered as recovered allied PoWs by the Third US Army.
There followed a flight to Reims in France and thence onward to England where my dad finally arrived home to his wife at 4.30 p.m. in the little village of Claydon, Suffolk on 25th May 1945.
I was born the following year - nearly a Christmas baby. A new little family; a different life.
As my Flickr friends who have read the story know, the help of a fellow member of a local U3A Photography Group has been invaluable to me in publishing, in paperback and kindle format, my father's diary account of his WW2 service, captured at Tobruk, subsequently as a PoW in N. Africa, Italy and Germany:

My royalties are donated to the Red Cross, without whose food parcels sent to the PoW camps, my father felt that 'a lot of us wouldn't have come back'.
Arriva Cross Country 220021 stands in platform 5 at Bristol Temple Meads having arrived with 1V57, 13:07 Manchester Piccadilly – Bristol Temple Meads, 8th September 2016.
Today we were out photographing a rather special property in Sheildaig... it needs a little work... but with a setting like this it really is quite something! It even comes with a spare church, built in 1877 and used... once.

A view across part of Attenborough nature reserve with Ratcliffe on Soar Power Station on the horizon, 8th March 2024.
In 1929 large-scale commercial gravel extraction began around Attenborough and would continue for the next ninety years. The extraction formed deep lagoons and as the extraction moved away from the works the gravel was transported by barge through the ever-expanding network of lagoons. In 1965, an application from the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) looked to fill the lagoons with ash from Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station. However, by this time, the pits were already well-known for their wildlife interest and extensively used by local fishermen and birdwatchers, with records starting around 1948. Due to the strength of local feeling the CEGB withdrew their application and the ash was taken to Fletton, Peterborough. Discussions then began with the site’s then owners, Trent Gravels Ltd, about the future for the lagoons and it was agreed to develop the site as a nature reserve in parallel with continued gravel extraction. The opening ceremony as a nature reserve was in 1966 and was performed by David Attenborough. Gravel extraction has now finished, and the works have been demolished, whilst the nature reserve now welcomes around 500,000 visitors per year and is regarded as one of the best sites in the UK to see kingfishers.
Ratcliffe on Soar 2116MW power station was built in the mid-1960s and opened in 1968 and is one of the biggest coal fired power stations built in the country. In 1981, the station was burning 5.5 million tonnes of coal a year, consuming 65% of the output of the south Nottinghamshire coalfield. Emissions of sulphur dioxide, which caused acid rain, were greatly reduced in 1993 when a flue gas desulphurisation system using a wet limestone-gypsum process became operational on the four boilers. Emissions of nitrogen oxides which also cause damage to the ozone layer, were reduced in 2004 when Ratcliffe became the first in the United Kingdom to be fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. One of the last coal fired power stations still in use it is due to close in 2025.

Inside Rowsley depot, Peak Rail on the 8th April 2017 is D8 Penyghent undergoing repair and a repaint.
Locomotive History
One of the ten Pilot Scheme Peak class locomotives D8 was delivered to Camden in December 1959 but it was immediately loaned to Derby. During May 1960 it was transferred with Crewe North. During the early part of February 1962 D8 moved to Nottingham, the precursor of the eventual move to Toton in May 1962 for use on heavy freight duties. In the mid 1970’s the ten class 44 locomotives started to be withdrawn. Surprisingly D8, now numbered 44008 visited Derby Works during November 1979, not for withdrawal but for engine repairs, It would remain under repair at Derby until early July 1980 when it was tested on the 12.07 Derby - St Pancras, (with 45121 as the train engine) as far as Leicester, returning light engine to Derby and re-entered traffic at Toton. Despite its recent Works attention 44008's reprieve was brief, it was withdrawn along with the two remaining Class 44's during November 1980, and stored at Toton. In July 1981 the locomotive moved north to Scotland heading for preservation on the Strathspey Railway at Boat of Garten in the Highlands. Following the sale of a very forlorn 44008 to the North Notts Locomotive Group in 1987 the locomotive returned to the East Midlands and is now based at Peak Rail.
