In my younger days I built bridges for the Rock Island Lines (now defunct) so I have a soft spot for trains. This one was winding its way through the hills of Utah when I spotted it. I just had to get a quick shot.
In 1938, on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of the death of King Stephen, the relic of the monarch, the Holy Right, was taken on a national tour in a railway carriage, popularly known as the Golden Train. Destroyed at the end of the Second World War, the relic can now be seen in its former glory.
After the ceremonial unveiling of the St Right Relic Carriage, the Golden Train will be on permanent display in the Railway Historical Park.

Passengers head for the exits at Liverpool Lime Street in the days when trains had real coaches. I had been riding behind Deltics as their time in regular service drew to a close and had just arrived in the train seen on the right, There was then time for a few shots around the station and a quick pint before reboarding for a run back to Manchester. Within a week or two the fun was all over.
