Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Type JT42CWR Class 66 diesel electric locomotive 66534 heads a Freightliner intermodal northbound into Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line with Class 90 'Skoda' 90046 behind and along for the ride dead in tow pantograph down.. (probably broken down..;-)
Note the signal L758 and the 45 degree 'feather' junction route indicator above the locomotives at the end of the down line platform (2). This signal is used to control bi-directional workings southbound on the down line.
If the proceed green aspect is shown and the 'feather' route indicator (5 lights at 45° above the signal) is illuminated showing a white aspect this means the crossover points are set for a train to crossover onto the 'up' line just beyond here. More often than not these are used for the weekday 6M53 Chelmsford low level yard to Mountsorrel Quarry aggregate return service and some early morning rush hour Liverpool Street bound trains. Generally trains are held at red before using the crossover to prevent excess speed on the points.
The caged signal device on the left is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal L717 at the other end of this platform (the up line) during bi-directional workings.
Also note the two bi-directional British Rail Automatic Warning System (AWS) Inductor Ramps in between the rails just in front of the locomotive.
The inductor ramp is an integral part of the AWS which was introduced on British Railways in 1956. AWS will warn the driver about the aspect of the following signal which is generally about 180/185 metres away in either direction. In this instance it is for signal L715 at the end of the down line platform (2). Data about the next signal aspect is sent electromagnetically to the driver as the train passes over the ramp. The inductor contains a magnet and an electromagnet which can denergise the magnet.
If the following signal aspect is green, the electromagnet of the ramp will magnetise and when the train passes over a buzzer will sound in the cab and the drivers AWS warning panel will show black and the driver can proceed as normal.
If the following signal aspect is showing yellow (caution) or red (stop, danger) the electromagnet will denergise the magnet and this will sound an alarm in the cab as the train passes over while the AWS warning panel will show yellow and black. If the driver does not press the cancel button to switch off the alarm within 6 seconds the brakes will be applied and the train will be stopped.

A class 26 with 4 Mk1 coaches passing Haymarket. Mid 1980s. Massive lens flare on this, but I like the image nonetheless.

Hitachi Class 800 - A Peterborough to Doncaster test train is headed by 800.001 with 002 at the rear
Class 90 90013 tows a Norwich bound intercity through Ingatestone station after 90003 failed. Normally, Norwich bound trains are propelled from the rear by the locomotive so this was a welcome treat!

British Rail Class 321 'Dusty Bin' 4 car 25kV Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 321364 working the 1Y05 06:52 (07:33 RT) Abellio Greater Anglia Ipswich- London Liverpool Street service train on August 12th 2017 southbound at Hatfield Peverel Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
Note the Dellner type coupling system at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.

Two class 31s on the Rylstone Tilcon in the yard at Skipton on 8 September 1990. I didn't record their identity at the time so it is purely on matching up with other fots that I'm punting on them being 31163 and 31207.
60 047 gets a shunt around in the sunshine by TOTON No1 ( 08 480 ) on the morning of 17-05-15 at 09:47.
This Pic is from my personal photo collection taken from 2012 onward as I again returned to follow my hobby of photographing and bashing locos around the UK .
After spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it's time to show them and not let them hide away in a box or on some hard drive.
Please Enjoy.
Alexander/Barclay Class 143 "Pacer" local passenger 2-car dmu No.143 603 of First Great Western in "Visit Bristol" promotional livery at Stapleton Road on a Bristol Temple Meads - Avonmouth service, 05/08.
The Class of 2014 climbed the risers on the Plain on Thursday, April 10, 2014 for their class photo. Always a fun event to capture. The Class photo will be available from PanFoto in the very near future.
Formally established in 1720, the University of Edinburgh Medical School has long been regarded as one of the best medical schools in the English speaking world. This ticket was one of a limited number issued to medical students wishing to attend lectures. In 1720 the first of three Alexander Monro's was appointed professor of anatomy, followed by his son and grandson. The Monro's were professors of anatomy for 128 years, and the ticket in this image would have been for the lectures of either the second or third Alexander Monro, and likely took place in the newly constructed 200-seat Anatomy Theatre built in College Yard, later to become known as the New Quad.
The University of Edinburgh Medical School remains is still amongst the top ranked in the UK with an admission rate of only 13%.

British Rail Class 315 25kV Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 315841 working the 2W17 07:04 (07:11 RT) Shenfield- London Liverpool Street Abellio Greater Anglia service train on the up slow at Harold Wood Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in London (UK).
That's fellow enthusiast and my regular photostream contributor David on the right as he waits to board the train.
Class 315 Units on Shenfield Metro services date from 1980-1981 and are scheduled to be replaced from 2018 with the advent of the 'Crossrail' project.

Class 43/2 HST (MTU) 2,250 hp Bo-Bo No.43 303 (ex-43 103 "Helston Furry Dance", ex-"John Wesley") of Cross Country leaving Chesterfield on a Plymouth south-bound service, 08/02/14.
On the left Class 58 58002 'Daw Mill Colliery' sits in the bay platform with its van destined for Harwich. 58021 'Hither Green Depot' passes by with the commonplace 6M32 empties from Tilbury in late 1997.
In the summer of 1984 a class 108 unit crosses the viaduct at Brinnington on a train between Manchester Piccadilly and Marple.
Class 08 D3022 at the servicing area at Bewdley on the Severn Valley Railway. This diesel electric shunting locomotive was built in 1953 which makes it 60 years old as I write this .Nearly 1000 of this class were built. It is incredible that some are still in service with Britain’s mainline railway operators.
