3Q54 Carlisle High Wapping Siding to Derby R.T.C. brightens up the dour Saturday morning scene at Megaloughton Crossing diverted via Sheet Stores Junction rather than the more direct route via Derby Station with 37421 sounding great up front.
Locomotive 943 was built by the Mitsubishi Company of Japan in 1950 and was installed at the park after retirement in 1987 to signifify the friendly relations between Thailand and Japan. It also reminds visitors that the park was once an active railway yard.

After a favourable result to numerous tests, VIA Rail stainless steel consists no longer require a buffer car at each end, as had been the case since the end of last year. Here VIA 69 has five of these cars, all carrying passengers.

The Sheringham end of the North Norfolk Railway, a privately operated heritage line which operates both steam and diesel-hauled services. It is one of the longest established heritage lines, having been founded in 1965 about a year after the line was closed by British Railways. It once formed part of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway and runs 5 miles to Holt.
Behind me, rails continue through a level crossing to the modern Sheringham station a short distance away, from which trains can be caught to Norwich on the national rail network. The buffer can be removed to allow occasional through trains, e.g. special steam services from Norwich.
On 11/02/19 5Z50 0945 Etches Park-Neville Hill passes Draycott with 4 buffer fitted Angel Trains power cars 43423 43467 43484 43468. The train terminated at Trent loop due to a fleet issue and returned to Etches Park for attention, before making a second successful attempt to get to NL, leaving Derby around lunchtime.
Pendennis Castle is about to depart from Snow Hill with an SLS special to Swindon via the Welsh Marches route on 26 April 1964. As was normal practice for SLS tours around this time the BR front number plate had been removed and 4079 painted on the buffer beam.
This started out as a low angle shot of openings in a closet door vent. I experimented with color and texture and ended up with this abstract.

The 12.39 Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen service (1A63) passes through Arbroath with 43143 up front (43139 on the rear). A difficult shot through the pallisade fencing! Wednesday, 5.6.19.
What looks to be buffer fitted 43013 is seen heading a Virgin Cross Country service past Newport ADJ Yard as the evening shadows lengthen. Yard shunters 09203 and 09105 can just be seen taking a break from their duties. The yard looked full on this day, taken circa 1998.

25 230 leading with 25 175 behind stand in the non passenger platform at Hooton having arrived light engines presumably from Chester Depot before reversing to take the line towards Ellesmere Port.
The station at Hooton on the one time LMS/GWR joint mainline retains its original four platforms to this day but the track the locos are standing on is little more than a turn back line that leads to a run round loop for freight trains north of the station. The adjacent platform to the left being in effect a south facing bay. The buffer stops being just visible under the overbridge. Out of sight to the left are the two tracks used by Merseyrail electric services.
Another image from the GCR Winter Gala Weekend in 2013 that might have more appeal this time around.......
Detail from Ivatt Mogul 46521 - perhaps one for the rivet counters.

Heyo, back from the Smokies, still alive, not a block of ice or eaten by a bear, all's well~
This is from one of the two times I turned my phone on last week at the top of one of the mts, I think like the second highest peak on the east side of the Mississippi or something. It was a pretty damn hard climb is all I know. I mean totally worth it though obviously.
I'm so sorry I've still been a little awol and haven't gotten around to answering emails and messages and things, I don't know what's up with me. It's just really hard to feel like social networking again if that makes sense, after not thinking about it for a while.
I don't know, there was one night after our group separated and three of us had to wade through streams all day and almost froze to death and ever since then posting things online's not been such a priority. It just sort of feels like such a shallow form of communication. Not that I'm trying to be patronizing or put the internet down, like, I love it and need it if I want to stay in touch with friends, but at the same time I wish I could just sit and actually look and talk to the people I love in person. Like what you post online isn't even a fraction of the whole story, you know. I want to know how everyone actually is but then it's not like any of us have the time to call or visit each other anymore. So much frustration aaaa
But anyway I was trying to watch a video on YouTube after I got home and it kept buffering and I found myself getting really frustrated and then I felt dumb because it seriously wasn't important. Our society is so obsessed with instant satisfaction which is funny since the things we make are the things that do all the buffering.
Just missn the natural world is all. So grateful to have walls and a pillow and a shower and all my limbs but definitely missn the simplicity.
Love yall, happy Sunday! Hope you guys have a wonderful week <3
The boring, dull, numbing grey of the buffer's mark.
