A Canadian Pacific train, led by an ex-Milwaukee Road bandit of unfortunate appearance, wobbles toward the ballast pit near Waterloo on ex-MILW trackage (now Wisconsin & Southern) on October 7, 2015.
Head - on from my train nearing Waterloo, is BR Standard tank 82015. Presumably on pilot duties. 15th September 1963.
The incredible Hastings DEMU 1001, is seen in platform 19 at Waterloo, with the UK Railtours 'The Baker's Dozen', which took us to all 13 London Termini in one day. The 1957-built unit performed without fault, and sounded fantastic.

An unidentified class 50 stands in the yard where Waterloo International platforms would be built in later years. The two brake vans on the right are used as barriers for the Waterloo and City coaches. This whole scene has changed completely, even the background buildings. I can't find my original notes for this negative, early 1980.

Waterloo station, also known as London Waterloo, is a central London terminus on the National Rail network in the United Kingdom, in the Waterloo area of the London Borough of Lambeth. It is connected to a London Underground station of the same name and is adjacent to Waterloo East station on the South Eastern Main Line. The station is the terminus of the South West Main Line to Weymouth via Southampton, the West of England main line to Exeter via Salisbury, the Portsmouth Direct line to Portsmouth Harbour which connects with ferry services to the Isle of Wight, and several commuter services around west and south-west London, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire.
The station was opened in 1848 by the London and South Western Railway, and it replaced the earlier Nine Elms as it was closer to the West End. It was never designed to be a terminus, as the original intention was to continue the line towards the City of London, and consequently the station developed in a haphazard fashion, leading to difficulty finding the correct platform. The station was rebuilt in the early 20th century, opening in 1922, and included the Victory Arch over the main entrance, which commemorated World War I. Waterloo was the last London terminus to provide steam-powered services, which ended in 1967. The station was the London terminus for Eurostar international trains from 1994 until 2007, when they were transferred to St. Pancras.
Waterloo is the busiest railway station in the UK, handling 41 million passengers in the year to March 2022. It is also the UK's largest station in terms of floor space and has the greatest number of platforms.

History:
The structure was completely rebuilt in 1857 by Dutton Woods of Contoocook. It was rebuilt a second time in 1970, at a cost of $16,300 under the state Town Bridge Aid Program. Finally, the bridge was rehabilitated by the state in 1987 at a cost of $3,000. The Waterloo Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Waterloo Bridge at sunset, a view that will soon be returning to its past as the concrete jungle that was constructed to build a new slip road for the Silver Jubilee bridge is now being demolished to return to the old roundabout layout. A more exciting proposal is to restore the 10 locks on the canal so reopening the link to the ship canal from the bridgewater canal you can see here.
The Lion's Mound is a large conical artificial hill located in the municipality of Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium. King William I of the Netherlands ordered its construction in 1820, and it was completed in 1826. It commemorates the location on the battlefield of Waterloo. (Wikipedia)
