Merseyrail Class 503 unit M29143M accelerates away from Meols with the 14.53 West Kirby_Liverpool Central service on a balmy Mon 14th May 1984. Time was quickly running out for these units and this particular set would only see another 9 months service before being withdrawn in February 1985.
A lucky day on 3 July 1998 as 47475 arrives at North Blyth on the empties from Fort William, which had stabled overnight at Bedlington (this was a Sunday). 47s were very rare on this service and this was the only time I ever saw one.
Here I am at Wolverhapton and according to realtime trains, this convoy of 97's was due to pass on platform one (right side of this image), instead being routed through 2 (the one I was standing on), so this is the best I could manage at the time.
Anyways, the convoy consists of 97302, 97303 and 97304 and the date is the 09/07/21.
With a class 121 single-car unit leading, class 101 set number L204, with DMS 51220 nearest the camera, sets off from a grey Didcot bound for Reading.

Having spent a day running to both Uckfield and East Grinstead, Southern's Electro-Diesel 73 202 'Graham Stenning' heads northbound between Riddlesdown and Sanderstead on it's way back to Stewarts Lane Depot. I'm guessing this was a route learning trip for train crew.
I'm guessing that this locomotive, plus other members of class 73s operated by GBRf that haven't been rebuilt, are the only type of traction left on the railway network that have two red roller blinds as a form of tail light indication. That said, preserved 'Hastings Diesel' unit 1001 also uses two red blinds, but as far as I'm aware everything else has red marker lights or flashing tail lamps.

After the various EMD bulldogs and ALCos the most iconic of Australian built diesels were the ten C class locomotives built for the Victorian Railways (later V/Line) in 1977/78 and powered by an EMD 645E3 rated at 3000hp.
They spent most of their first two decades on the broad gauge track (5'3") between Melbourne and Adelaide hauling interstate freights, although a couple could often be found on the standard gauge north to Sydney.
In 1995 ownership passed from V/Line to the federally owned National Rail Corporation and for another three years they continued mainly working on the Adelaide corridor which had been converted to standard gauge the same year.
The C class were placed in storage (apart from two that were resurrected for terminal shunting) for several years until sold to niche private operator Silverton Rail who progressively reactivated them from 2003 onwards, with most also receiving a substantial refurbishment and upgrade in the process.
There have been several changes of ownership since then and in April this year most were back in storage again with no regular work.
To the rescue came Southern Shorthaul Railroad who purchased six from loco hire company Engenco, with SSR quickly finding work for them on short-term coal and grain haulage contracts.
Six months ago we thought it was all over for the mighty C class, yet just a few days ago I was lucky enough to watch C506/C507 pass through Gulgong, NSW, with #8478 loaded grain bound for Port Waratah (Newcastle).

Despite seeing almost all of the trans-Pennines DMUs, sadly I only have one photograph of them in operation, and this is a rather poor quality one as it was before I got my first decent camera. Class 124 DMC number E51967 leads a four car set with a westbound service at Doncaster in the early 1980s.

North British (later Class 22) 1,100 hp B-B No.D6320 in BR green livery (but apparently without white stripes?) with small yellow warning panel and no headcodes at Newton Abbot MPD, 08/66. Scanned photograph taken with a Kowa SET.
Stabled on platforms 1 & 2 at Manchester Piccadilly are class 506 1500DC 3car emu's, driving trailer open second (DTS) M59608M with motor open brake second (MBS) M59405M on the left.
The class 506's had exclusively worked the Manchester Piccadilly-Hadfield via Glossop services since June 1954, their last day of operation was approaching fast on the 7th December 1984 only a fortnight way.
