In de fotoserie over Ligne 4, vervolgen we onze weg richting Belfort. Na Troyes, volgt Chaumont als volgende ‘stad’ van betekenis. Hoewel Chaumont slechts 24.000 zielen kent, is het de grootste stad in de wijde omgeving. Daarnaast ontleent Chaumont enige statuur aan het feit dat het de hoofdplaats is van het departement Haute-Marne en van zijn eigen arrondissement.
Chaumont ligt aan de rivier de Marne. Dit heeft er toe geleid dat de stad een knooppunt in het spoorwegnetwerk is. De spoorlijn uit Reims volgt reeds vanaf de Champagnestreek, zo’n 150 kilometer verderop, de genoemde rivier. In Chaumont treffen de lijn uit Reims en Ligne 4 uit Paris elkaar.
Op de sombere donderdagochtend van de 24e oktober is er weinig te merken van drukte op het station. Er is nauwelijks een treinreiziger te vinden die op dat moment van de diensten van de staatsspoorwegen gebruikt wil maken. De enige beweging die waarneembaar is betreft het vertrek van de trein naar Langres, Culmont-Chalindrey met de eindbestemming Dijon-Ville. Met maar liefst 1 uur en 18 minuut vertraging passeert treinstel 82509 de fotograaf. Daarna zou het zo’n drie en half uur duren, voordat de volgende trein zich zou aandienen.

Australia was approaching its bicentennial celebrations, and after Brisbane’s success hosting the 1982 Commonwealth Games, Brisbane City Council and the Queensland State Government were confident they could win the bid to hold the next World Exhibition.
Brisbane won the right to hold the event and Expo 88 was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 30 April 1988. By the time it closed, it had changed the way the world saw Brisbane and helped shaped the city as we know it today.
Starting with an estimated budget of $645 million, the Queensland State Government developed a World Expo that would recoup and support its own costs and promote international investment in Queensland, both during and after the event. South Bank, badly damaged in the 1973–74 floods, was chosen and the site acquired for $150 million. Developers completed construction on time and within budget. The targets set for ticket sales were reached 11 weeks before Expo 88 had even opened. It was off to a smashing start.
Celebrating ‘Leisure in the age of technology’, there was an incredible range of pavilions, performances, parades, comedy and artwork on show. Guests could experience over 50 restaurants filled with flavours from around the globe. Hosted over six months, it drew more than 18 million people to the renewed South Bank parklands district. An average of 100,000 people a day entered the gates.
An influx of royalty, celebrities and international visitors came to Brisbane for the exhibition, but it was Queensland residents who attended the most often, purchasing 500,000 season tickets. Expo 88 provided something the city needed: an easy-to-access recreational facility with exciting things to do, see and experience. Brisbanites returned again and again to socialise and enjoy the festival atmosphere.
The monorail was one of the most popular attractions. Giving travellers a view of the entertainments from above, it operated along a 2.3-kilometre track during Expo 88, taking up to 44,000 visitors a day from one side of Expo to the other, along the Brisbane River. Built by Swedish manufacturer Von Roll, the monorail cost $12 million and comprised four MkII trains with nine carriages each. The idea of keeping the monorail operating after Expo and extending it into the Brisbane CBD was discussed. Ultimately, the existing monorail wasn’t a feasible long-term people-moving solution and it was disbursed. Three trains were sold back to Von Roll and were used in Germany’s Europa-Park. The remaining train and some tracks were incorporated into the Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast.
Some of the most significant installations, exhibitions and artworks from Expo 88 were relocated and continue to be enjoyed today. Ken Done AM, a prominent Australian artist and designer, was commissioned to produce the entry and exit statement art pieces for the Australia Pavilion. Using the word ‘Australia’, Done produced a sign nearly six metres tall that could not be missed by anyone who attended Expo 88. The letters have since been restored and are on display at the Caboolture Heritage Village. The Nepal Peace Pagoda was the only international pavilion that remained on-site, after a petition asking that it remain attracted about 70,000 signatures. The Japan Garden and Pond were gifted to the city of Brisbane and moved to the Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-Tha.
The buzz of activity, the investment in South Bank’s infrastructure and the spotlight on Brisbane transformed the city. The physical legacy left by Expo 88 turned South Bank into a thriving social space and prominent cultural hotspot: 42 hectares was dedicated to the construction of the South Bank Parklands.

Although London is a well known tradition city in the world, there are lots of skyscrapers are building in this city. Perhaps it will not change the surface and layout of the city which has historical and valuable architectures and culture.
Part of a project to document the changing transport infrastructure of Newcastle, the Heavy Rail line is expected to be cut by the end of the year.

A scene from the not-too-distant past at the north end of Wellingborough station on the Midland Main Line. Semaphore signalling and manual signal boxes still prevailed on the line north of Bedford, as did locomotive haulage. The line had been the preserve of the Class 45 Peaks since their introduction in 1961, but Class 47s would also appear. This unidentified example arriving on a St. Pancras-bound express sports a silver-painted cab roof, at the time a hallmark of Class 47s allocated to Stratford Depot (SF) on the BR Eastern Region.
HST sets appeared on the Midland Main Line from 1982, prompting the upgrading of the line’s signalling. Wellingborough’s old Midland Railway signalbox was saved for posterity, subsequently being re-erected at the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley.

This is a view looking towards London from the overbridge, Between 1974 - 76, i use to use Brockenhurst Station daily as i did my A levels at Brockenhurst College.
This view always reminds me of a model railway with the two island platforms and the level crossing in the distance.
You will have to pardon the lack of trains in my photos, the locations bring back great memories and to a certain degree without the modern rolling stock, which i loath, the pictures somehow look older than with trains in view.

The structure and sheer size and event of a steam locomotive crossing over inspired the low angle to put emphasis the intensity of the bridge.
