Greetland Junction, near Halifax
Thanks to a friendly signalman this shot was taken from Greetland signalbox, near Halifax. Class 37 D6928 (later 37228 and 37696) pulls a single parcels van from Wakefield to Halifax.
The line branching in the foreground leads to a small oil terminal. The train itself will branch off the CV main line immediately after passing the signalbox and take the steep incline up to Dryclough Junction, Halifax. Greetland is actually two or three miles away. The signalbox I am in was originally Greetland No2. The line used to branch to the right immediately behind the parcels van.

Twenty-six 24 Class locomotives were manufactured by Toshiba Electric Co in Japan and introduced to run on the mainline for Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) in 1987. The 24 Class locomotives were commonly seen hauling both the passenger express services and freight from the heart of Singapore to Malaysia. The twenty-six 24 Class locomotives were named after heroes and warriors from Malay folklore.
This KTMB 24 Class Model is controlled by 1x PFx Brick and powered by 1x PF L-motor with lights and sounds.
With all these models completed, I thought it would be a good time to have a 'photoshoot'. Taken after the Singapore Brickfest 2021.
Class 001 or A class locomotive which ever you prefer no.020 is seen shunting Limerick Container Terminal at 08.15 in the morning prior to departure with what is probably a service to Dublin North Wall but I would welcome clarification of that.
Locomotive no.020 was taken out of service on 21/09/1992 and like all of the 60 strong class are no longer in regular service with IR.
Class 40 No. 338 leaves Chester station with a London Euston express as Class 24 No. 5034 arrives with a parcels train.
30th June 1973
One of the initial batch of seven units with slightly shorter carriages, 1004 is seen rounding the curve into West St. Leonards station, while I was testing out my newly acquired 135mm lens for the first time. This unit had recently been reformed as a 6S unit again, having been split in 1964 to provide carriages for two of the class 206 three carriage 'tadpole' units for the Tonbridge-Reading line.
03 078 at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Before the demise of wagonload freight, even some relatively small stations had a shunting loco, this example being for shunting Tweedmouth yard. The 03 class was once a common sight in eastern England where duties were less onerous and would not justify a more powerful 08. Seen on 2 June 1984.

A Class 105 Cravens driving trailer leads a hybrid set into Althorne, a remote unstaffed station between Woodham Ferrers and Burnham-on-Crouch, after a summer shower in the mid-1970s.
A southbound London Overground class 378 unit comes out of a tunnel into an essentially white scene at Wapping station on the East London Line.
As well as the white wall on the right, there is a fair sprinkling of white grit salt on the narrow platform. This is applied because although the stretch of the line between Surrey Quays and Whitechapel is below ground (and of course the River Thames), a small part of the northen end of the platform is exposed to the weather. This shot was taken on the last day of a week long cold snap across the British Isles.
I taught a class to make this kind of quilt (Trip Around the World is the name of the pattern) last Saturday at our local library. I haven't touched it since I came home from class, but today I picked it up again and it's nearly done. I still have a row to add on each side, and then the border, and it's finished piecing.
A two car class 116 unit (51145 51132) is on it's way empty to the depot, the driver trying to hurry things along by getting on to the signalbox via the signal telephone, something we don't see these days. Cardiff 7 September 1992.
British Rail Class 08 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter 08836 at Ongar Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
08836 entered service as D4004 on November 11th 1960 and remains in service some 55 years later at Old Oak Common Traction and Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot (2015).
08836 was a guest locomotive at the EOR courtesy of First Great Western Ltd.
The 08 (09/10/11) shunter 0-6-0 design was based on the LMS Class D3/7 shunter of 1939 and LMS 12033 shunter series for the war department in early 1945 so it's safe to assume the basic body design you see here dates from the late 1930s.
