A difficult one to expose for, I wanted to try and get the backlighting to highlight the rivets of the supports to the Victoria Road overbridge which spans the station platforms.

Cappagh Blue 60028 creeps towards Ely North Junction, with the 6M89 0901 Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings sand train - 26/02/2022.
This was the last time that this locomotive turned up on this train after four consecutive weekends & the weather was superb. Lorraine & I walked a bit further up the river bank at Queen Adelaide than before, as other photographers were further back & I wanted to include the tree & new foot crossing in the shot. As it turned out, we were in the right spot. A passenger train was rapidly approaching behind us & would have been in the shot, if we hadn't walked further up the river bank.

I came down to photograph the Class 60 hauled Middleton Towers to Ravenhead Sidings sand train (of course) & was rather pleased the sun popped out, just as this train passed through. Needless to say, a large wedge of dark grey cloud appeared on the scene just five minutes later & the train I was waiting for, duly rumbled by in terrible light. Therefore, I won't bother to upload that on this occasion!
It's good to see a few of these red 'tomatoes' hanging around on my local line. I must admit, I will be sorry to see them go. I love a bit of colour in my photos & I find these far more pleasing to the eye than the white ones we normally have.

Czech Railways tri-voltage Class 380 electric loco 380 007-5 at Prague Main Station on 7th October 2017. The Type 109E locos designed in 2004 have been the subject of a dispute between manufacturer Škoda and Czech Railways. Of an order for twenty, placed in 2005, it was was not until 2013 before the class received main line a certification for use in the Czech Republic. Their proposed use on the Prague-Dresden-Berlin-Hamburg route was scrapped and Siemens Vectron locos were leased instead. A Deutsche Bahn order for locos of this class (designated Class 102 in Germany) from Škoda has also experienced similar certification issues.

A pair of two car Gloucester Railway & Carriage Works class 100 DMU's rasp away from Marston Green station on their Journey to Rugby Midland, possibly the 4.20 PM. The train is passing over the road crossing. the gates were controlled by the signal box next to the footbridge
On the platform the lad porter has two heavy looking rolls, one on his shoulder the other tucked under his arm, they will have arrived on the DMU. The senior man, complete with his official cap, has the more important duty of watching the train go past.
The station was still gas lit, a lamp is visible both sides and a lovely lantern juts out over the building doorway, perhaps it is the camera angle but the OHL mast looks as if it directly in front of the door!

With a decade having elapsed since this locomotive was named to commemorate the class's Golden Jubilee, this shot of DRS Class 37/6 37601 "Class 37 - Fifty" stabled at Didcot was taken back in 2012 when the power station cooling towers were still intact...
92044 is seen heading north at Crawford with the 6S51 Carlisle to Moss End working. Unfortunately the sun didn't quite play ball for me.
Class 37s seen here crossing the bridge that separates Loch a' Chuilinn and Loch Achanalt heading for Kyle on the Network Rail PLPR train, Class 37409 (Lord Hilton) in BR large logo blue livery & 37606 in DRS blue compass logo livery on the rear. Now with the Cumbrian Coast back to Northern DMUs and DRS with the PLPR contract hopefully we will see a few more from the 37 four pool up here in the highlands on the Kyle Line and Far North line.
