The snap is none too good but is evidence that there was once a frequent (possibly hourly) service between Stockport and Stalybridge, calling Reddish South, Denton and Guide Bridge stations on the way.
For many years between the 1960s and 1980s two-car dmus were frequently to be found on this service. Here one such 2-car set comes under the wires of the 1500v dc Woodhead route as it crosses Stockport Junction (signal box in the background) to enter Guide Bridge station before heading off via Guide Bridge North to Stalybridge.
Back in the late 1950s, Kusan-Auburn, Inc. manufactured a line of O Gauge electric trains to compete with Lionel. Besides ready-to-run sets, they also produced a line of low priced, unassembled kits of various rolling stock.
Keeping in step with the missile mania of the Cold War Era, the company, using the brand KMT, rolled out an Atomic Train set. Two of the cars, the Atomic Cannon and Guided Missile Car, were also sold in kit form. Retail for the Cannon, which could shoot wooden projectiles, was $2.98. The Missile Car retailed for $1.79 and, despite being described as an Honest John in sales material, the missile was fictitious and bore no resemblance to any guided weapon in the U.S. arsenal. Kits of two additional pieces of equipment, a Radar Car and a Searchlight Car, were announced, but there is no evidence that they were ever produced.
This is a very old photo of an even older build.

The great thing about the beach is that it presents an entirely different universe from season to season, from day to day, from hour to hour, from second to second, with the ever changing wind, tides, clouds, and sun. A split second with tumbling surf and a sinking sun can make a vast different, resulting in entirely different photographs.

Originally known as "Ashton and Hooley Hill", it was renamed "Ashton" in February 1842 and became "Guide Bridge" in July 1845. It was built by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway on its new line from Ardwick Junction, near to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway's terminus at Store Street, (now Piccadilly) to Sheffield, opening on 11th November, 1841 as far as Godley Toll Bar and finally reaching Sheffield on 14th July, 1845.
The station originally had a 4 platform configuration with a large office on the southern side. However, this (along with 2 platforms and associated tracks) was removed after the 1980s. Today the area has been covered and used as access for the southern platform, but some evidence remains of the previous 2 tracks.
With the electrification of the Manchester–Sheffield (via Woodhead) line in the early 1950s, Guide Bridge, already a major centre of railway operations, increased in importance. Express trains called here, as well as EMU trains between Manchester London Road and the north Derbyshire towns of Glossop and Hadfield. There were also Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) services from Manchester London Road (Piccadilly) to Macclesfield, Stockport Edgeley to Stalybridge and to Oldham (via the Oldham, Ashton & Guide Bridge Railway, which closed to passengers in 1959).
The station was also where Express Trains to and from Manchester Central on the London Marylebone route, changed locomotive. Drawn by a Bo-Bo or Co-Co Electric Locomotive from Sheffield, a Steam or in later years Diesel Locomotive would take the train the final few miles to Manchester Central and vice versa. The Woodhead Line was busy with freight traffic, especially with coal traffic from South Yorkshire to Lancashire power stations. The station also accepted freight under British Railways "Passenger" freight service and had a licensed Buffet.
There was a large marshalling yard about a mile east of Guide Bridge at Dewsnap. There was also a stabling point immediately to the east of Guide Bridge station where engines could be fuelled. Guide Bridge was also where the local Retail Coal Merchants transferred Coal from British Rail Coal wagons, carefully weighed into One Hundredweight sacks for delivery to homes around Ashton, Audenshaw and Denton. Express passenger trains via the Woodhead line ceased operation on 5 January 1970, but Dewsnap sidings and Guide Bridge stabling point were busy until the final closure of the Woodhead Line (east of Hadfield) on 20 July 1981. The Class 76 electric locomotives were a frequent sight here, along with Class 25, Class 40 and numerous others classes of diesels.
The former TransPennine Express operator, Arriva Trains Northern, had plans to establish Guide Bridge as a major interchange station, coupled with hopes that the Woodhead line might re-open. Such aspirations seem to have fallen by the wayside, however, since First/Keolis took over the TransPennine Express franchise
On 22nd October, 2006 a fire gutted the waiting room, footbridge and ticket office. The fire has subsequently been attributed to arson and caused around £1m of damage to the station, necessitating the demolition of the footbridge. This has not been rebuilt, necessitating a lengthy walk out of the station and along the adjacent main road to change platforms.

My wife and I aren't fans of big group guided tours but we decided to take one on Santorini - it was actually pretty good. Not too crowded, great guide, and we got to visit places we otherwise would not have made it to. The trip was not without its moments though. We started off by going to the Profitis Ilias Monastery. We had never heard of it. It is at the highest point of the island and getting there was an adventure. Roads on Santorini are not made for tour buses but they are everywhere. It's scary going around blind curves on a road big enough for a car and having buses or trucks coming the other way. Closing our eyes seems to work. However, to get to the monastery parking, the driver had to make a three point turn. To do so, he had the nose of the bus hanging over a sheer cliff. Note - there are no guardrails on Santorini. I thought I was going to poop my pants as we were in the very front seat and knew we were going to die. I think I was shaking for hours after that - wow. And the driver does this every day! The monastery was ok - most of it is closed, but the views of Santorini are awesome. From there we went to the ancient ruins of Akrotiri. This is a village that was completely covered by volcanic ash hundreds of years ago. We like history and ruins but this site is in the beginning stages of being excavated. Greece being Greece, it will proceed at a very slow pace. After this we headed to Pyrgos, a lovely mountain village that we didn't spend near enough time in. If we go back to Santorini we will go there on our own. We spent 1-2 hours in Fira; since we had been there twice already, Heather and I had some very cold beer, people watched, and then savored some great Gelato. One of the highlights of the trip was to be the sunset from Oia. It was actually nice even if half of China was there. Getting out of Oia was interesting to watch - about 80 buses were parked in an lot meant for 10 buses. We look at it as total chaos but the Greeks have it down to a science and everyone eventually found their way to their bus and made it home. We think. All in all this was a very good day but I had to burn my underwear after this bus ride.
