After 17 years and 9 months, GB Railfreight Class 92, 92 020 finally runs on the mainline once again under her own power.
Undertaking a short initial test run for her first outing since April 2001, 020 was accompanied by sister locomotive, 92 032 "IMechE Railway Division", which had been at Crewe ETD for repairs and was acting as the 'insurance' locomotive.
Running as 0Z92, the pair of GB engines left the DB Cargo depot - the Class 92s' original "home" - with the (GB) driver sounding 020's horn to mark the occasion as they rounded the curve towards the north end of Crewe station.
92020 and 92032 then had brief spell in the UDL at the station, before 032 took the pair back to the ETD.
To add to the uniqueness of the occasion both 92s had their pans up during the test run.

I stayed in Liskeard on Wednesday evening so decided to venture out to a spot close to where I grew up the following morning. This is the ruins of an old engine house on Bodmin Moor, close to Minions and the Cheesewring. Just when I thought it was in danger of being a wasted journey the sun came out and provided some nice light. This was taken just as the sun popped up above the horizon.
Thanks to Richie for reminding me of this spot with his atmospheric mono image of the same location a few days ago.
I appreciate any constructive comments to help me improve.

I visited the Western Railway Museum on Highway 12 in Solano County, Northern California today. It was pouring rain - good museum weather, I think. They don’t run the antique trains in the rain, but I had the “barns” where the trains are stored almost to myself. Low light and cramped quarters made photography a bit challenging, but I’ll be sharing a few images of the cool engines and trolleys they have on display.

Here we see what was the final example of a Western Pacific steam locomotive in operation. Built over 100 years ago, she was a workhorse until diesels took over in the early 1950’s. She continued serving as the railroad's steam ambassador, pulling several different Western Pacific specials and excursions, and even made a cameo appearance in Walt Disney's movie "Pollyanna". On August 22, 1960 she powered a special between Oakland and Niles to participate in the railroad's 50th anniversary of passenger service. In 1979 the Western Railway Museum received Engine 94 and had her pulling short excursions until Labor Day weekend of 1985 when she made her last run. Today No. 94 is in need of expensive boiler work. Everyone's hoping to see the Grand Old Lady operate under steam again.

I have near on 60 shots to process but have no time at the moment, I felt the need to upload something and found this one of an old tractor engine gathering dust on the hard drive.

1905 Marshall Agricultural Engine Works No 42665 Sir Philip sent to Tazmania from new and returned in 2005 and restored by owner Mr. R Foreman and sons.
What beautiful feat of British Engineering. No. 31806 used to run down to Corfe Castle and Swanage during the British Railways days of the 1950s and is the quintessential Southern Railway branch line locomotive.
An absolutely glorious walk in Cornwall is the coastal walk from St Just to Pendeen lighthouse. It takes in a number of old tin mining sites including Botallack, Levant and Geevor.
These two buildings perched precariously on the cliffs are two engine houses for Botallack mine. The lower engine house held the steam engine for pumping water from the mine while the upper engine house was used for winding ore out of the mine. A plaque inside the upper engine house states:
"Crowns Engine Houses, Botallack Mine.
Worked before 1721 and closed in 1914. The lower pumping house was built in the 1830's & the upper winding house Pearce's in 1858. Preserved 1984 by the Carn Brea Mining Society with the help of many individuals and authorities as a tribute to past generations of Cornish miners."
The full history of Crowns Mine is well worth reading and can be found here.

My current collection of NS diesel locomotives : the NS 353 Sik, NS 627 Hippel and NS 2278. The Sik and 2200 ran pretty well during Rijswijk, the Hippel needed some slight modifications... More diesel engines to come!
RD21520C. Great Western Steam Railmotor No. 93 at the Didcot Railway Centre.
This unique vehicle was originally built in 1908, but converted to an unpowered auto-trailer in 1935. The Great Western Society have therefore had to have a new boiler and power bogie manufactured as well as re-building the rest of the vehicle.
Although a major undertaking, this was successfully completed in 2013 and the result is a credit to all those involved in its return to steam.
I also took some video starring the amazing Steam Railmotor while I was at Didcot and this is now on YouTube. To make viewing easier, I have broken it down into three bite-sized chunks and here are the links:

Okay, they did a 1.5 billion pixel image, I'll give it to them. And a mighty fine one too.

It inspired me (plagiarism attempt) to make a similar shot.

Hailed as Union Pacific's "Living Legend," the engine is widely known among railroad enthusiasts for its excursion runs, especially over Union Pacific's fabled crossing of Sherman Hill between Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming.
The Northerns
The Northern class steam locomotives, with a wheel arrangement of 4-8-4, were used by most large U.S. railroads in dual passenger and freight service. Union Pacific operated 45 Northerns, built in three classes, which were delivered between 1937 and 1944. Initially the speedy locomotives, capable of exceeding 100 miles per hour, were assigned to passenger trains, including the famous Overland Limited, Portland Rose and Pacific Limited. In their later years, as diesels were assigned to the passenger trains, the Northerns were reassigned to freight service. They operated over most of UP's system.
The second series of Northerns was more than 114 feet long and weighed nearly 910,000 pounds. Most of them were equipped with distinctive smoke deflectors, sometimes called "elephant ears," on the front of the boiler. These were designed to help lift the smoke above the engine so the engine crew's visibility wasn't impaired when the train was drifting at light throttle.
The last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific was Northern No. 844. It was saved in 1960 for excursion and public relations service, an assignment that continues to this day. Any current excursions scheduled are posted on the Schedule page. Two other Northerns are on public display: No. 814 in Council Bluffs, Iowa and No. 833 in Ogden, Utah. A third Northern, No. 838, is stored in Cheyenne and is used as a parts source for No. 844.
