An EMU pictured arriving at Waterloo station on 31st August 1992.
On the far right of the shot you can see the Eurostar platforms under construction, with the red flag and rusty tracks evidence of the associated trackwork that was going on.
Ironically the Eurostar only used Waterloo for 13 years. The new platforms have stood idle since 2007, although it appears they are finally going to come back into use for ordinary services.
Thanks for all the views, Please check out my other photos and albums.

Waterloo Bridge : Culpeper County Structure No. 6906 consists of a single-span Pratt through truss with 15
steel beam approach spans carrying Rt. 613 crossing the Rappahannock River. The truss was built in
1878 by the Pittsburgh Iron Co. and retains its masonry piers. The current steel beam approach spans
(with concrete bents) were completed in 1919 and were built by the Virginia Bridge & Iron Company,
replacing earlier deteriorated and flood-damaged wooden approach spans. The bridge is approximately
387 feet long overall; the truss span is 100 feet long. This structure is significant as Virginia’s oldest
surviving in-service metal truss bridge.

Taken 27/01/11: If you Google ‘Class 458, Juniper units’ various web-sites will comment on their early years being beset by anything from ‘teething problems’ to ‘major technical problems’. Suffice to say the units have had a chequered history but now seem to have found a niche on the South West Trains Waterloo to Reading line. Unit No. 8007 is seen about to leave Waterloo’s Platform 19 with the 15:20 to Reading.

The light yellow house on this 1880 map of Waterloo shows this house, including the details of the porch and the kitchen at the rear, which I foolishly did not photograph. Across High Street from it you can see a row of mansions that were still there in the 1960s. Below it is a clapboard Italianate house which was owned by a pair of retired teachers in the 1960, in their old age they lost their lifetime home to Urban Renewal.
It is still better than any place that I've ever lived in this home was charged with being a slum and torn down by the Urban Renewal Commission to build an unneeded campus for East High School.
In 1970 there is a story in the Waterloo Daily Courier in which the Urban Renewal Commission brags about 'beautifying the Ghetto' by tearing down these homes. No black person ever lived in this house. But the destruction of this neighborhood did prevent black citizens of Waterloo from moving closer to the downtown business district and that was the real goal of urban renewal in Waterloo.

The monument about the battle of Waterloo can been seen far away. Best viewed when singing the famous Waterloo song by ABBA ;)
The Battle of Waterloo, fought near the town of Waterloo (pronounced [watəʀˈloː]) in Belgium on Sunday 18 June 1815,[5] was the decisive battle of the Waterloo Campaign, and Napoleon Bonaparte's last. Waterloo marked the end of the period known as the Hundred Days, which began in March 1815 after Napoleon's return from Elba, where he had been exiled after his defeats at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 and the campaigns of 1814 in France. The defeat put a final end to Napoleon's rule as Emperor of the French.

The Victory Arch, built of Portland Stone. commemorates the London and South Western and the Southern Railway men who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. It features figures representing war and peace, beneath a statue of Britannia.
The Victory or Memorial Arch was built 1919-22. It was designed as the main foot entrance to the station at the head of an impressive flight of steps, most of which is within the building. it is in the form of a triumphal arch some three storeys and attic in height, on the butterfly plan; the main arch being flanked by side bays and with one bay canted wings. - Bronze plaques under the arch bear the names of 585 LSWR employees who lost their lives in WWI, but the chief features are two sculptural groups, one dedicated to Bellona and dated 1914 and the other, dated 1918, to Peace, under the names of the greatest fields of battle set around a glazed arch set with a clock in a sunburst, and surmounted on the roof by Britannia. Prominent on the concourse side of the arch is the name of the company. The sculptor was the other wise little known Charles Whiffen. The special significance of the monument within the post-First World War genre is that the LSWR staff themselves were, uniquely, consulted on its design. Pylons with iron lamps flank the staircase.
I love this time of day for photography - it was around 5pm so the perfect time to grab the camera and do some shots.
