Photo taken at Bruce Grove Station in Tottenham on the 02-02-1975 which it seems was a bit of a misty murky day. Class 305 EMU.
Taken on a Praktica Super TL camera with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens, Ilford film. Digitised with my DSLR.
In heavy snow, OBB loco 1144 067 terminates in the bay platform at Worgl station with the 15:08 REX service from Salzburg. The driver was kind enough to leave headlights on to capture this moment once all the passengers had gone. Challenging conditions, but great fun.

Thames Tunnel, London, England
Back to the Thames Tunnel again and a slightly different processing of this stunner of a tunnel.
Again showing the drop in the track. What I really like in the photo is the swirling on the track head caused by the light bouncing off it. This is caused but the train wheels as it passes over the track head.
Really wish I could have used a tripod down here to try and get a sharper image but can fully understand why they didn't allow them.

Location Information
The Thames Tunnel is an underwater tunnel, built beneath the River Thames in London, connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping. It measures 35 feet (11 m) wide by 20 feet (6 m) high and is 1,300 feet (396 m) long, running at a depth of 75 feet (23 m) below the river surface measured at high tide. It was the first tunnel known to have been constructed successfully underneath a navigable river,[1] and was built between 1825 and 1843 using Thomas Cochrane and Marc Isambard Brunel's newly invented tunnelling shield technology, by him and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
The tunnel was originally designed for, but never used by, horse-drawn carriages. It now forms part of the London Overground railway network.
The original ROCKET designed and built by Robert Stephenson and Company for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1829. Previously on display at the Science Museum it has been displayed at The National Railway Museum, York since 2018.

With storm clouds developing, here we see ZSSK Skoda locomotive 361 125 working the 12:08 service from Puchov to Praha-Vrsovice (EC126) on the hot stormy afternoon of the 29/8/24. The train was captured passing through Štěpánov, Czech Republic.
* For information, at the time of posting, this train is now booked a Vectron like many other loco-hauled services in the Czech Republic. The Siemens Vectron is making railway photography across Europe increasingly boring, both for passenger and freight and the Czech Republic is leading this negative revolution:-(

Still wearing the QRNational logos on the Downer lease livery, LDP002 leads 7BM7 into Goulburn. It is rare to see triple blue units on this train, the mid unit being a CFCLA lease unit. This is the last week that Aurizon will haul the SCT loading, as SCT commence their own train next weekend.
SBB ICN Pendolino 500 041 "William Barbey" heads south through Wassen on the Gotthard route on the afternoon of the 22/8/15 with a UID service

A brand new spot for lineside photography at the time of taking this image. Here we see steam engine no.2807 running tender first with the 14:13 freight service from Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway (7B50) on the afternoon of the 26/10/24. The train was captured passing though Gretton near Winchcombe in Gloucestershire.
This was a trial shot to see how it would turn out at this low elevation. Here we see OBB Taurus locomotive 1116 147 working what I believe to have been an empty stock movement in the direction of Worgl on the morning of the 8/2/25 as there was nothing else due to pass.
The train was captured passing through Oberndorf.

Here we see CD Skoda locomotive 242 209 working what I believe to have been the 12:59 service from Tisnov to Hustopece u Brna (Os4643) on the bitterly cold afternoon of the 25/2/22. The train was captured on the outskirts of Kurim.
Seen here at Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre.
I have been advised loco is now privately owned and, far from being scrapped, is pending reactivation.
The CL class is a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Commonwealth Railways in several batches between 1970 and 1972. The class was the last in the world to be built with the Electro-Motive Diesel bulldog nose but differed from previous builds in having a mansard roof.

Yesterday's Aurizon BM7 service limps into Goulburn NSW with a failed 6027 in the lashup, just 21 hours late- already. Desperate late rays of sunlight barely bathe the train in colour.

Near the Yangon Central Railway Station, abandoned rail cars slowly waste away. It's downtown Yangon, the station being the largest in the country, yet the jungle looks ready to to take over the area if only it can be neglected a little longer. A city ready to break out into the international stage and quickly developing, but some parts of its past are still close to home.
Riding the train is in itself a bit of a tourist destination. A fleeting glimmer looking into the daily life of the Burmese that depend on rail transit. It's people watching, but taken to the touristic level where people come and go, transporting their goods or their children. Everyone playing a part in the larger story that's waiting to be told if only more people would visit and see the country for themselves.

The introduction of the new corporate identity for British Railways was part of the 'new age' of railway modernisation that as well as the massive closures and withdrawal programme that was given added impetus under the 'Beeching Report' also saw a more targeted investment programme than the earlier and utimately doomed 'Modernisation Programme' of the British Transport Commission. British Railways became British Rail and with it came the loss of the use of the Gill Sans typeface that had been primarily used since 1948 and a new logo designed by Gerry Barney of the Design Research Unit, the agency that oversaw the rebranding in great detail. This included the new Rail Alphabet designed by Margaret Clavert and Jock Kinneir who had also introduced the new Transport typeface to the nation as part of the overhaul of the UK's road signs under the Worboys Report.
As part of the marketing of this new corporate identity an exhibition was held at the Design Centre in London in January 1965. The poster and the accompanying leaflet.
