DB Class 60 No.60044 heads towards Stoke Canon,with the 13:44 Exeter Riverside to Whatley Quarry working,on the 6th of September 2019.
British Rail Class 745 25kV 12 car EMU (Electric Multiple Unit)
745001 working the 1P24 11:30 (12:00 3E) Greater Anglia London Liverpool Street- Norwich service train at about 100 miles per hour northbound at Hatfield Peverel Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Essex (UK).
The Class 745 EMU's were a direct replacement in early 2020 for the ageing 30 year old plus Class 90 electric locomotives and their slam door British Rail Mk3b coaches which previously worked the Norwich- London Liverpool Street express services..
745001 was built by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the trains. The Dellner coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.

Mobile phone shot of DRS class 57, 57007 top and tailed with 57003 with a stationary sandite railhead treatment train at Chelmsford railway station. These where at the station together with 66531, 66575 and 66595 so 5 locomotives at Chelmsford at the same time!
Missed this as usual! Thanks for the photo text Dave!
A class 66 loco pulling a rake of loaded coal wagons away from the loading point in Tairgwaith. Selective colour used to pick out the loco as all railway pics are better in B & W has also picked up some of the small, yellow flowers along the track bed.
The railway tracks are leading the train to somewhere far away.

Bombardier (Derby) Class 387/1 'Electrostar' 25 kV AC overhead 4-car emu No.387 138 of Heathrow Express at Paddington, 10 December 2022.
CR 60 Class No. 14645 seen here in Crimson Lake livery at an unknown location. Designed by William Pickersgill in 1916 and were given the nickname "Greyback" by crews but it is debated on why this name was given. It could be because when in CR Blue, the hot boiler would burn the paint and thus making the top grey or it could be because of their sluggish & temperamental steaming capabilities which seems more likely given O.S. Nocks account of these locomotives. All made it into LMS ownership in 1923 with more being made under Hughes. The last 60 Class was withdrawn in 1953.

A nice surprise on the West Coast Main Line just North of Wolverton was Brush Type 2 Class 31 diesel locomotive 31190 double headed with its mucker 31601 hauling a RailVac RA7 vacuum excavator northbound almost certainly from Willesden.
Note the British Railways green livery and 'ferret and dartboard' emblem.
First time i've seen an in service 31 on routine patrol on the mainline for a very very long time! Really pleased to see this!
Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth on these at Chelmsford station on the GEML in the late 1970s.
31190 was built as D5613 at Brush Traction Loughborough in April/May 1960.

15 year reunion: MBA and IMBA 2001
10 year reunion: IMBA 2006
5 year reunion: IMBA 2011

Sadly no loco number recorded with this snap - how very irritating! I've uploaded the pic as its shows a railfreight loco on a parcel service at Derby. What is the coach behind the loco? any ideas? It looks like a modified BSK but I've not seen one before. July 1987
