This was photographed from the York Way platform (used by trains to Moorgate) that closed that year. A class 31 is just arriving at the head of a suburban train. Another 31 can be seen on a main line train, perhaps to Cambridge. The use of loco-hauled Mark I suburban rolling stock ceased with the opening of the electrification in October that year.
An unknown class 40 is seen running round at the north end of Carlisle Citadel Station. The date would have been 1986.
A Class 110 DMU after arrival at York at night. I don't know the date of this as it has not been recorded but late 1980s. I do know Nikon FM2, 50mm f1.8 AI-S lens and Kodak T-Max 100 film.

Mirfield Station
On a dull and overcast day Class 45 45102 (formerly D51) speeds through the station with 1M75 13.55 Scarborough to Liverpool express. I saw this engine many times at Holbeck, Mirfield, Toton - and was pulled by it between Leeds and Huddersfield during 1985
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 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).

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.
