Cappagh Blue 60028 creeps towards Ely North Junction, with the 6M89 0901 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings sand train - 26/02/2022.
This was the last time that this locomotive turned up on this train after four consecutive weekends & the weather was superb. Lorraine & I walked a bit further up the river bank at Queen Adelaide than before, as other photographers were further back & I wanted to include the tree & new foot crossing in the shot. As it turned out, we were in the right spot. A passenger train was rapidly approaching behind us & would have been in the shot, if we hadn't walked further up the river bank.
Just north of Stafford the River Sow meanders its way along the side of the West Coast Mainline then under the M6 motorway which can be seen in the background, it was here long before any of the transport infrastructure.

The classic Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) by the Norvegian-American sociologist and economist Thorstein Veblen is certainly still relevant today, perhaps even more so than a century ago, and not only in the western world...

I had a good freind who was the foreman here when it was home to some class 56s. He let me wander around one day. Pity I didn't chose a nice sunny one!!

Class 170 170107 scoots past Welney Road Crossing near Manea, with the 1N53 1127 Stansted Airport to Birmingham New Street - 14/01/2022.
A pair of two car Gloucester Railway & Carriage Works class 100 DMU's rasp away from Marston Green station on their Journey to Rugby Midland, possibly the 4.20 PM. The train is passing over the road crossing. the gates were controlled by the signal box next to the footbridge
On the platform the lad porter has two heavy looking rolls, one on his shoulder the other tucked under his arm, they will have arrived on the DMU. The senior man, complete with his official cap, has the more important duty of watching the train go past.
The station was still gas lit, a lamp is visible both sides and a lovely lantern juts out over the building doorway, perhaps it is the camera angle but the OHL mast looks as if it directly in front of the door!

Czech Railways tri-voltage Class 380 electric loco 380 007-5 at Prague Main Station on 7th October 2017. The Type 109E locos designed in 2004 have been the subject of a dispute between manufacturer Škoda and Czech Railways. Of an order for twenty, placed in 2005, it was was not until 2013 before the class received main line a certification for use in the Czech Republic. Their proposed use on the Prague-Dresden-Berlin-Hamburg route was scrapped and Siemens Vectron locos were leased instead. A Deutsche Bahn order for locos of this class (designated Class 102 in Germany) from Škoda has also experienced similar certification issues.

387207 approaches Downham Market, at the head of the 1T41 1444 King's Lynn to London King's Cross Great Northern service - 07/10/2021.
A fabulous walk today. We took the train from Downham Market to Watlington & then walked all the way back home along the Fen Rivers Way footpath, with a stop at our favourite local pub near Stowbridge for lunch. I noticed a 'tomato' had gone up to King's Lynn & was on the correct end for this shot, so I diverted over here on the way home to see it return & also to photograph a Middleton Towers sand train behind it. I managed to grab this train with the sun out, but just ran out of luck with the sand train by a couple of minutes.
With a decade having elapsed since this locomotive was named to commemorate the class's Golden Jubilee, this shot of DRS Class 37/6 37601 "Class 37 - Fifty" stabled at Didcot was taken back in 2012 when the power station cooling towers were still intact...
A Southern class 171 formation arrives at Crowborough, with the 16.33 Uckfield to London Bridge service. Some snow from earlier in the week has still not thawed during the current cold snap.
Very much a spur of the moment shot after spotting the puddle on the platform when returning from 'The Wheatsheaf' pub. Inspiration aided by three and a half pints of 'Harvey's Best' in the aforementioned pub!
Class 47 diesel locomotive No. 47205, restored into Railfreight Distribution livery, waits to take over the demonstration freight working at Pitsford & Brampton Station during Northampton & Lamport Railway’s Winter Gala on 8th February 2020.
The Class 47 is a Brush design and 47205 is one of 512 examples built between 1962 and 1968. It is a class that has proven to be a very successful mixed traffic (passenger and freight) diesel locomotive.
