This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

Whether it's hiking, rambling or running you fancy, the estate is a fabulous place to enjoy the outdoors. You can follow one of our three waymarked routes, or design your own route with the different public footpaths, including the long distance path, the Greensand Way.
Michigan Shore train Z627 is rolling off the last two miles of their southbound Journey to interchange with CSX at Holland MI. CSX's Holland yard is only about a half mile in front of them but the crew will have to roll past it and shove in from the east end as the Fremont sub connects to the main in the middle of the yard. The train consists of mostly loaded Chara ash cars that are bound for the ash dump in Essexville MI. This business is roughly 10 cars a day, 5 days a week for about the next 2 years as an environmental clean up takes place at the former B.C. Cobb plant in Muskegon MI. The call colors are just starting to peak in this area but are still a couple weeks away at this point.
10 Mile River, Tusten, NY
One of the places I visited last autumn. This river connects to the bigger Upper Delaware River.
This is a shot from a few months ago in 9 Mile Pond shooting with Michael Pancier.
This was supposed to be a cloudless morning according to forecast yet, it ended up being a nice one.
This is a single file. No saturation added. Dodge & burning, 3 levels of local contrast (highlights/mid tones and overall tonal)
Hope you all have a very nice week.
As always, thank you for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments & critiques.
Sporting its Orange GMPTE Livery, virtually new 142004 departs Miles Platting station in the Manchester North Eastern suburbs. In the distance L&Y Brewery Sidings Box guarding part the Philips Park triangle with a 56 hauled MGR held in the loop, ready to follow 1420004.
* Miles Platting Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway station in the North East suburbs of Manchester and by 1986 was a shadow of its former self. Created at the Junction where the L&Y and LNWR routes converged after crossing the Pennines on their respective routes.
This area was born out of the industrial revolution with a vast amount of manufacturing and engineering establishments and the working population grew disproportionally to the housing available therefore creating mass overcrowding in a slum area.
Miles Platting became unstaffed and suffered from vandalism closing on May 27th 1995 and was quickly demolished leaving no trace.
* For the final day of 'Pacer' operation, November 27th 2020, Northern rostered just 142004 to work one of the Manchester - Kirkby diagrams.
Passengers alight from 150112 on the 07.00 Manchester Victoria - Kirkby as 142004 arrives with the 07.36 Kirkby - Manchester Victoria.
* Considered to be only a stopgap solution and based on the Leyland National bus body some of these units managed a creditable 35 years in service. Fittingly Newton Heath turned out ex GMPTE 142004 on the last day.
** For the record 96 were built, 15 were available for service on the last day (stand corrected on that) 36 have been scrapped and 20 have made it into preservation.
Hey gang. Hope you had a great Christmas day. Boxing day marks the start of a great migration here in Australia. Thousands of majestic station wagons make the long journey from urban centres to rural ones with occasional stops for a KFC and a wee. On arrival at the teeming holiday-grounds, their first port of call is usually the small local IGA shop where they will comment on how expensive the bread is. Having put up a tent or pitched a caravan or booked into a hotel, the older members of the party will then usually crack open a bottle of something alcoholic and the younger ones will complain about how poor the 4G internet is. Traditionally there will be a small (but heated) row and then everyone will go for a walk on the beach, which has healing and restorative effects. Over the course of the holiday, the mood will slowly become increasingly relaxed and remain so until the return leg, which is fraught with its own unique dangers, such as a malfunctioning air conditioning unit in the car and 10km traffic jams. Personally I will not be migrating anywhere during the summer holidays, but will be enjoying sunrises like this one a couple of mornings ago, on Seven Mile Beach. If you're heading this way, look for a fat bloke in Crocs with a camera and smelling heavily of Aerogard and you've probably found me :)

90 years after the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 severed the Key West Extension from the rest of the Florida East Coast Railway, a beautiful sunset bids farwell to another day at the 7 mile bridge near Marathon, FL.

Imagine a five-kilometre stretch of Highway 401 somewhere between Toronto and Montreal being closed? It wouldn’t happen. But when a five-kilometre stretch of rail line, known as the Don Branch of the CPR Bellville subdivision closed a few years back, hardly anyone took notice, until now.

A little about this bridge and a warning: even though it has always been referred to as the half-mile bridge, it is actually not that length at all. At about 1,100 feet, or 335 metres, the half-mile bridge is really closer to a quarter-mile (1,320-foot) bridge.

The Canadian Pacific line down the Don Valley was officially decommissioned in 2007.

This sign sits at the start of the road from Lochwinnoch to Muirshiel Country Park, here in Renfrewshire. It's three miles and uphill all the way ;-)

October 10, it was the 5th Anniversary of my dear Kashmir’s death.
Thank you, Little Kash in heaven!
I believe you brought Miles to my family.

And then... the lightly on the green.
