As soon as you′re born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you′re clever and they despise a fool
'Til you're so fucking crazy you can′t follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they′ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you′re so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you′re still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Keter-class SCPs are anomalies that are exceedingly difficult to contain consistently or reliably, with containment procedures often being extensive and complex. The Foundation often can't contain these SCPs well due to not having a solid understanding of the anomaly, or lacking the technology to properly contain or counter it. A Keter SCP does not mean the SCP is dangerous, just that it is simply very difficult or costly to contain.. ◊
One of the many fantastic heritage railways in Norfolk. I do think that people don’t post enough heritage on the site. I’m not from Norfolk but I do love your beautiful county

Exchanging tokens… Class 47 diesel No. 47105 (D1693) arrives at Winchcombe station with a service from Toddington to Cheltenham Racecourse on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire heritage railway on 10th August 2022.
But not the cash kind.
Yesterday I returned to work and by a total coincidence my second delivery of the day took me down the access road by the UK Rail depot to Leicester. My new iPhone came in handy.
On view in front of what appears to be a new part built shed are a couple of heritage class 37's from the early 1960's together with a rather forlorn class 60.

CLICK ALL SIZES!
I wrote that poem. This morning I only had the first half done, and when I came home from grad practice, I wrote the rest.
It's true, I've been in the same school, the same class, with half of those kids since I was FIVE. It's so weird graduating. It's bittersweet. I'm extremely happy, but I'm also really scared.
This girl that I graduated 8th grade with (who I don't really talk to anymore) wrote in my yearbook,
"Heather,
OMG, girl, so we're graduating! Brooklawn seems like yesterday! You're such a great person, you'll be really successful."
And I seriously almost cried reading it.
This is the poem:
"Graduation is an emotional time
Full of joy, and of sorrow
We’re thinking about times gone by,
While dreaming of tomorrow.
These four years
Have come and gone,
For some kids they flew by,
For others they drug on and on.
No one knows for sure what life holds
No one knows for sure what’s right around the bend
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow,
Never knowing quite where the road will end.
Some of these kids have been together
For nearly fifteen years
Some might say, “It’s useless to cry,
Why are you shedding tears?
You should be happy to leave,
It’s what you’ve waited your whole life for.
So, why are you crying? Why are you sad?
Just walk right out that door.”
Some of these kids,
We might never see after graduation day.
Some of these kids are leaving here,
They’re moving far away.
So, you might think
It’s silly to cry, to shed a single tear,
But I know most of these kids,
I’ve been with them for years.
Yes, graduation is an emotional time,
Full of joy, and of sorrow.
I’m thinking about times gone by,
While dreaming of tomorrow."
CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2009!
66076 rattles through the Vale of Edale, with the 4H70 1633 Limbury Road to Peak Forest Cemex Sidings - 13/05/2023.
One of my objectives on our short break in Derbyshire, was to find alternative locations to photograph trains on this beautiful section of line. Looking on here, I couldn't find anything other than the usual well known spots. Therefore, I was determined to try & find alternative views. I found this one on an early evening walk & hoped to catch a freight train at this spot before we returned home.
As it turned out I got lucky. Due to the fact that very few passenger trains were running on this particular Saturday, freight trains were running much earlier than usual. This one came through over two hours earlier than scheduled, but it was of great benefit to me, because the sun was just high enough in the sky to catch the sun still on the track, before it disappeared over the hill behind me.
No sooner had one steam engine thundered past when along comes another! LMS Stanier Class 5MT 4-6-0 No 44871 working 1Z52 London Kings Cross - York 'Christmas White Rose' WCR charter seen at Frinkley Lane Crossing, Grantham 16th November 2024.

In need of a wash after a night on the rails… This Rail Head Treatment Train is nearing the end of an 11-hour stint spraying water onto the railheads to blast away leaf debris. The journey began at Swindon, taking in Worcester, Hereford, Craven Arms, Oxford and many other places before finishing at Cheltenham.
Colas Rail Freight Class 667 No. 67023, with No. 67027 at the rear, is seen spraying the rails as it passes Ashchurch on 12th November 2021.
A very lucky bit of timing on my part catching two seperate class 73 workings at the same time.
On the left, 73 213 has just arrived in platform 2 at Redhill, on the rear of Rail Head Treatment Train 3W91.
Drawing to a halt in platform 3 is pristine 73 961 'Alison', leading Network Rail test train 1Q69 en route from South Croydon (originated from Tonbridge West Yard) to Derby Rail Technical Centre.
This was captured whilst changing trains at Redhill, heading for some lunch at Gomshall. Just before leaving home I spotted the potential for a chance to capture both trains at the same time, but really didn't expect that it would fall nicely into place.
Cappagh Blue 60028 cruises past Welney Road Crossing near Manea, with the 6L91 0916 Chaddesden Sidings to King's Lynn T.C. - 27/05/2022.
Due to Houghton Hall International Horse Trials being on this weekend, I only had one opportunity to catch my favourite train this week. Thankfully, work had been relatively quiet this week & therefore I was able to have the day off for a change. This locomotive had failed the previous week, when on the Machen Quarry run & had been returned to Leicester L.I.P. for repair. I didn't expect the locomotive to return to service so quickly, but it did & by pure luck, it dropped on to this train. I was also very lucky with the weather, as the sun was clear of cloud when it passed me & a couple of other photographers at this spot.

British Rail Class 20, otherwise known as an English Electric Type 1, No. 20189 at Grosmont station of the North Yorkshire Moors heritage railway on 26th September 2021. A total of 228 locomotives in the class were built by English Electric between 1957 and 1968.
Class 66 66413 in the new "Genesee & Wyoming" Freightliner livery rattles past Welney Road Crossing near Manea, with the 0851 Leeds to Felixstowe North freightliner - 12/10/2018.
I had missed this locomotive twice on a Saturday on my local patch recently, so I didn't expect to see her any time in the near future. Therefore, I couldn't quite believe my luck, when I saw the "Freightliner Bee" coming towards me! I had absolutely no idea she was on this train, so what a fantastic surprise it was to capture this beauty on camera totally out of the blue.
