I took this whilst walking round the new Granary development at the back of Kings Cross Station, London.
The viewing platform is open to the public, so I sat a long way back on a bench in the sunshine with my Fuji XF 55-200mm lens and took lots of candid photos. Really pleased with the 'comic strip' graphic feel to it.
Platform 8 at London Victoria. The poster attached to the railings here - and the nearby plaque, commemorate the fact that the 'Unknown Warrior' - buried at Westminster Abbey in 1920, arrived by train at this platform. The Unknown Warrior's body had been brought from France. The story of the Unknown Warrior is described on Westminster Abbey's website at www.westminster-abbey.org/our-history/people/unknown-warrior

New Haven Railroad heavyweight round roof combo MUT trailer leads other powered MUT coaches eastbound along the electrified main line as enters the station platform area in Bridgeport, Connecticut, ca 1960. These Osgood-Bradley round roof MUTS built between 1926-1931 provided excellent service over the years. There were only two combo baggage coaches ordered. In this view you can really see the detail of the hair pin fence that separates the two express tracks from the station platform tracks. There are a couple people seen on the arriving train platform.

The TPO has just arrived, it's late and the barrows are in the wrong places. Meanwhile a couple of late night passengers are still waiting for the sleeper train. All done on Loughborough GCR Station with the help of a Neil Cave / Jason Cross charter.

Bob platform and end of the beam on the Elsecar pumping engine of 1795. This is the only Newcomen engine in the world that survives in its original enginehouse. It was subject to a major conservation project which was completed in 2014 and the engine can now be seen moving using hydraulic drive. The cylinder base was badly cracked after the engine was run in the 1950s with steam of too high a pressure and significant quantities of water in the bottom of the cylinder.
Just a few minutes before sunset, MWRC #2 "Ammonoosuc" sits tied down on the platform at the summit of the highest peak in the northeastern US. The place looks deserted, except for the crew, because all of the passengers on this sold-out excursion, and THREE diesel sections which preceded it up the hill, are all busy exploring the summit structures and enjoying the views. The summit platform has certainly evolved over the past century and a half. For much of its existence, it was a single-track affair, because there were no switches or sidings on the entire line. Gaggles of trains would all ascend simultaneously, one after another, and would descend the same way, in reverse order. Today, few trains linger here. The diesels are so much faster than the steamers, that they arrive, discharge passengers, pick up passengers and immediately descend. For this reason, the platform has been expanded, not only in terms of length, but there are now two tracks, one of which (the far track) typically holds trains which are staying on the summit for a time, while the other (the near track) is for the transients. A large, hydraulically-powered switch on the grade just below the platform switches these tracks.

Taken at the museum of the Great Western Railway in Swindon. The museum is full of large black and white film prints, most of which are stunning, and depict industrial scenes of train building. I tried to emulate some of these by converting this image to black and white and adding a mid-ground haze.
New Haven Railroad DER-3a ALCO PA-1 locomotive # 0780, along with another PA-1, is seen leading a passenger train while it's stopped at the Route # 128 Station Platform on the Shore Line in Boston, 1962. By the look of the cars on the train, it appears to be a Pennsylvania Railroad train, possibly the Colonial. Notice that the coupler nose doors have been removed from locomotive # 0780. The location of this photo may be in Massachusetts. I really like the big golden glow headlight used on these PA-1 locomotives, instead of the newer sealed beam headlights that were later installed in many other locomotives.
The name of the photographer that took this photo is unknown. This photo is from the Mac Seabree Collection.
