PKP 3,000 V DC overhead Class EU07 2,680 hp Bo-Bo No.EU07-304 (with ribbed sides and LED lights in new rectangular surrounds) in PKP Intercity blue & grey livery at Poznan Glowny, 20 November 2017. In the late 1950's the PKP wanted an advanced electric locomotive and bought 20 EU06 mixed traffic locomotives built by English Electric's Vulcan Foundry in 1962-65 which were a DC export version of the AC British Railways Class 83. PKP then procured Polish built versions of the EU06 - 488 EU07's built by Pafawag and Cegielski in 1963-1994 and 200 5,400 hp duplex ET21 heavy freight and coal Bo-Bo+Bo-Bo units (two EU07's joined together) built by Cegielski in 1977-83. In 1995-2003 ZNTK modified 97 EU07 locos to express passenger EP07 locos. The 15 EP08 locos built by Pafawag in 1972-76 were newbuild express passenger versions of EU07's. The final development of the type is the 3,916 hp EP09 Class, 47 being built by Pafawag in 1986-97. The class, with a revised body, was intended to be a completely new state-of-the-art design but a shortage of funds led to the adoption of many features from the EP07/08's. However, the mixture of new and old technology was not a happy one and many subsequent modifications had to be made.

Nottingham Station
Our train from Grantham to Nottingham was on this ex-Southern Class 170422, still to be repainted in EMR livery.
GWR Class 166 No.166217 heads towards Pot Lane,with the 10:41 Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth service,on the 16th of November 2021.
Annie Hart's 1st grade class photo. I'm "2nd row from left, 3rd pupil" as my mom wrote. Taken around Easter,1967. This school was razed in 1968 or 1969 and the boys had to carry the desks about 10 or so blocks to the new school. I was in second grade at the time. If anyone knows the identity of the other students in this portrait, feel free to note them.
After my previous 'Goodbye EMT' photo featuring the class 158 & 156 on the last ever East Midlands Trains working I saw, I thought I might as well do a 'Hello EMR' photo too. This is the second ever East Midlands Railway working I've seen, as the first was 153318 & 153321 around a minute before - but as 153318 still had EMT branding on it I thought it better to use this picture of fully EMR-branded 153308 & 153311.
The pair pass Meadow Lane foot crossing on 18.8.19 - as trains run quite infrequently on this stretch (on a Sunday) it was quite lucky to see three trains within about ten minutes of each other, even better to get this one fully branded up as EMR - in fact this is the first train I've actually seen fully branded as EMR because the previous 153s were a mix of EMT/EMR, yesterday's 156/158 was an EMT/EMR mix too and the 222 from yesterday was all EMT.
I can't resist a class 110. Seen here working a Leeds to Sheffield local train, this is a Hornby model.
The unit represents the class on its last legs, and wears the blue and grey colours of BR and the MetroTrain logos of the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive.
It must be a damp day as the passengers appear to have steamed up the windows.

Well this won't happen again now, TPE class 68s going back to DRS and cancelled the mk 5s coaching sets.

Grabshot of preserved British Rail Type 2 Class 25 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive 25057 stored at the Weybourne Locomotive, Carriage Maintenance and Restoration Centre satellite shed at Bridge Road on the heritage North Norfolk Railway in the County of Norfolk (UK).
25057 was built at Derby Works as British Railways Type 2 D5207 in 1963 and was withdrawn from traffic by British Rail on March 15th 1987.
Despite numerous visits to the NNR over many years, I've yet to see or hear the forlorn 25057 in action which on a personal level as a first generation diesel locomotive enthusiast is very disappointing.
It seems 25057 has been abandoned to its fate. The locomotive is not even listed on the North Norfolk Railway website rolling stock page anymore.

British Rail Class 74 electro-diesels number E6110 somewhere ? Unfortunately the only information with this photograph is a development date of 11 OCT 1968.
Any help with the location greatly received.
This Pic is part of a collection from the 1960's & 1970's. They are all prints of various sizes with some colour and some black & white with almost half having written details on the rear.
The photographs were purchased as a set some time ago and after spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it is time to show them and not let the collection just hide away.

The first Class 700 EMU to enter the country
Seen here after arrival at the new Three Bridges Depot.
Hauled by GBRf loco 66769 running as 6X66 in charge was yours truly.
The 12 car unit was separated into three sections between barrier wagons, here we have one of the driving cabs of the class 700.
9th November 1985 saw the first ever visit of a class 40 to Penzance when the doyen of the class D200 worked the Penzance Fryer railtour. The loco had been fully restored to BR green livery a few weeks beforehand and was now the last of the class in passenger service. It is shown resting at the buffers under the roof at Penzance shortly after arrival.
Class 86s 86602 + 86623 are pictured in the station sidings at Carlisle, at the head of a southbound container train.

British Rail Class 321 4 car EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) 321313 leads an 8 car Greater Anglia northbound service train near the 'Golf Links' foot bridge on the Great Eastern Main Line railway at Widford near the City of Chelmsford in the County of Essex (UK).
Previously here was a on track foot crossing which was replaced by the out of sight bridge along with anti trespass fences by Network Rail in 2014.
Note the 'Stop, Look, Listen' for trains illuminated warning signs from the former foot level crossing are still in situ along with the dumped crossing wood sleeper thingys on the left.

Mirfield
Thornaby-based Class 37 37008 (originally D6708) has just come off the Huddersfield line with this tanker train heading east. The line the engine is on became little used around this time - by August it was rusting away and was lifted around the end of the year. This was the last shot I have of an engine on this track.
Seen in a sorry state 7 years later at Tinsley - 37008/
