Class 66 shed 66954 hustles through Chelmsford railway station on Freightliner empties bound for Felixstowe.
from Loughborough we moved to Huddersfield for the Red Rose Rally. I can't remeber wher we spent the night!
Kids . . . they eventually grow up. Fast! Some 34 yrs ago my family arrived in America. I guess you can say I'm first generation. Not a word of English, and times were definitely different. I graduated high school in '97. Fast forward to present day and my niece is asking me to take her senior portraits. Time waits for no one. Enjoy life responsibly. Cheers!

As a first impression, The seats are soft but awkward to sit on.
But we should learn to be grateful as there are trains out there with solid steel seats.

Fly encrusted National Express East Anglia Class 360,360115 4 car EMU and part of an 8 car set ex London Liverpool Street at speed at Hatfield Peverel bound for Clacton on Sea..
British Rail Class 156 'Super Sprinter' 2 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 156422 during boarding at Norwich station for the over subscribed (as usual) 2S14 10:45 Albellio Greater Anglia service train to Cromer and Sheringham on August 29th 2014.
I have to say these refurbished Super Sprinter units are a considerably nicer and more comfortable place to be than the nigh on 40 year old TSO (tourist standard open) ex British Rail Mk3a carriages on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street trains with their uncomfortable seats and fixed armrests. Only the lack of air conditioning is a small minus.. which of course means open windows and more noise.

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.

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.
