My railway chasing cycle ride took me all over the shop today, however this photo of a pair of 50's heading north from Barrow Hill to Bishop Aukland was the nearest location I visited, a mere two and a half miles from home as they passed the Rustic Arms in Ackworth.
This move proved a little problematical. Firstly the 50's were an hour late leaving Kidderminster as they worked light engine to Barrow Hill and then upon arrival in Darlington they were again held up as seemingly they hadn't been cleared for use on the Bishop Auckland branch.
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!!

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.
66014 rounds the corner on the approach to Ketton box with 6L42 0847 Mountsorrel to Barham working. The venerable Midland lq semaphore seems in better nick than the modern colour light seen on the left.

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 leads the 1T23 1012 King's Lynn to London King's Cross Great Northern service past the long closed station at Denver - 27/08/2022.
I came down to photograph the Class 60 hauled Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings sand train (of course) & was rather pleased the sun popped out, just as this train passed through. Needless to say, a large wedge of dark grey cloud appeared on the scene just five minutes later & the train I was waiting for, duly rumbled by in terrible light. Therefore, I won't bother to upload that on this occasion!
It's good to see a few of these red 'tomatoes' hanging around on my local line. I must admit, I will be sorry to see them go. I love a bit of colour in my photos & I find these far more pleasing to the eye than the white ones we normally have.

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...
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.

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!
