11-4-99 Hagg lane level crossing Gascoigne Wood
58007 has drawn out of the down loop and prepares to reverse into the down sidings on Milford West sidings - Gascoigne Wood loaded MGR coal train for blending
Nearing the end of its career on the route it was built for, 304036 works a Manchester Oxford Road to Crewe via Stockport service through Piccadilly.
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.
Class 56 locos under construction in Crewe works, 2nd July 1983. There is a number just visible on the cabside that suggests it may be 56126 or 56128.
GWR 4MT 2-6-2T Class 45xx No 4566 heads a local passenger train for Kidderminster south from Bridgnorth through Hampton Loade Station (Severn Valley Railway) on 25th March 2014 - A RUSS Charter
On 29 April 2023, 321307 is seen at Colchester Town on 1G16, the first leg (to Clacton) of the class 321 farewell tour, which also visited Walton, Harwich Town, Stowmarket and Southend Victoria.
British Rail Class 170 'Doodlebug' 3 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 170208 working the 1P57 17:30 (19:05 18L at CHM) Abellio Greater Anglia Norwich- London Liverpool Street service train southbound at Generals Lane overbridge on the Great Eastern Main Line near Boreham in Essex (UK).
Who knows why a 3 car diesel multiple unit was operating this service. This should be a Class 90 locomotive hauled 8 carriage train.
Might be linked to this train's 18 minute delay while the whole GEML was subject to heat related cancellations and speed restrictions during this day.
Note 'The Brecks' vinyl wrap livery and the train is approaching a double yellow (preliminary caution) signal aspect.
The double yellow warns the driver that the following signal may be at single yellow (caution) and the signal after that may be at red (stop, danger).
These two class 40s were stored at Crewe. The shot was grabbed whilst window hanging, as you do. I sent this original slide into Traction mag and it was printed in Issue 65 the problem is I have never had my slide back so this is a scan from the mag, well I must not complain, at least I got a tenner.
British Rail Class 170 Turbostar diesel-hydraulic multiple unit No. 170509, operated by East Midlands Railway, at Derby station on 16th January 2025.
British Rail Class 69 Co-Co diesel locomotive 69003 as operated by GBRf (GB Railfreight) working a rake of empty JNA box wagons from Mountfield (East Sussex) to Southampton Western Docks at Eastleigh Station in the County of Hampshire (UK).
I think this is a daily GBRf service for the collection of gypsum from the Port of Southampton back to Mountfield.
69003 was originally built by Electroputere S.A. of Craiova, Romania and entered service for British Rail as Class 56, 56018 on August 23rd 1977.
56018 was rebuilt including a new low emission engine and other major improvements by Progress Rail for GBRf then reclassified as Class 69, 69003 in 2021.
Note the 'speed whiskers' which are a tribute to some pre yellow panel British Railways diesel multiple units from the 1950's/1960's.

A reason for going out today was a working on RTT from York Parcels Sidings to Gascoigne Wood Down Loop. It was a DRS Class 66 66426 which made a number of runs through Selby onto Howden then back through Selby and onto Peckfield Crossover then back to Howden. Here 66426 with some kind of track recording or inspection equipment on the front heads over Sandhill Lane Level Crossing on its way to Gascoigne Wood Loop where the crew took a break.

Bombing & Gunnery School officially opened in April 1941. Five bombing ranges were also created to allow the students to practice. Aircraft flown at the base included the Avro Anson, Fairey Battle, Bristol Bolingbroke and Westland Lysander. The school offered six week courses in bombing, navigation and air gunnery until it was disbanded in November 1944.
Northern Class 156 No. 156454 waits to depart Carlisle for Morpeth on 7th December 2022.

British Rail Class 745 25kV 12 car Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 745003 working the 1P16 09:30 (10:01 1E) Greater Anglia London Liverpool Street- Norwich service train northbound at Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Essex (UK).
The Class 745 EMU's were a direct replacement in early 2020 for the ageing 30 year old plus Class 90 electric locomotives and their slam door British Rail Mk3b coaches which previously worked the Norwich- London Liverpool Street express services..
745103 was built by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the trains. The Dellner coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.

Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company, Class 110, E51823 & E51843 at Sheffield in October 1987 (possibly the 19th)
Note the roof on E51823 was damaged by a fire on a class 104 dmu (M50440) that was stood next to it, during the repairs the only cab roof available was from a class 104 so as a result E51823 ran the rest of its life without a headcode box.
