A Northern Class 156 accelerates away after its southbound call.
Most trains seem to run long services such as Preston to Buxton and Preston to Hazel Grove, though few passengers are expected to travel the whole way.
Taken from Platform 2 looking east.
With the rain slightly eased Moses Gate showed no signs of electrification work.
This shot looks south towards Farnworth. The tunnel visible in the extreme distance is the now trackless single bore Farnworth Tunnel.
A history of San Francisco's neon heritage.
November 21, 2013: Join San Francisco Architectural Heritage for our 2013 Lecture Series and experience the living history and culture of San Francisco through new eyes! Eric Lynxwiler of the Museum of Neon Art will illuminate San Francisco’s dynamic neon legacy and the role of sinage in creating urban character, followed by a brief tour of neon signs in Chinatown.

I cannot come up with a name for this picture.
I'm sending this one to the wolves. Welcome Deletemers.
An experiment in long exposure in a well lit area.

The height between track and bridge was insufficient to give safe clearance for 25kV wiring. The bridge is massive and busy, so the tracks were lowered in a short Winter blockade.

Roby (and Huyton) were to be fitted with passenger lifts as part of the four-tracking and electrification process. Roby station building is ancient, so the lift therein was designed to avoid external alterations to the building.In essence, this would involve gutting it, except for the Booking Office, digging the shaft and installing the lift.
The awning is cantilevered against the station structure, so gutting would remove the counterbalance risking the awning toppling onto the tracks. The awnings were therefore propped up.

A package of improvements will take place across Phase 4 alongside electrification, such as raising line speeds and removing hazards such as level crossings.
Bolton station will have Platform 5 reinstated. It will be at the extreme western side of the station complex and will enable trains heading from Manchester towards Lostock to overtake, considerably enhancing capacity.
It is currently used in part as a car park and in part not at all.
Taken through the bars of the staff only entrance by the western lift, looking south.
this is an experimental piece that i was playing with to see how well to blend 2 colors at the essence and burst of light. i liked the orange better
The line to Blackpool South reopened as planned after a Winter blockade to undertake major route improvement and electrification works on the route to Blackpool North.
Kirkham and Wesham station has been substantially rebuilt with a third platform for the first time ever, bi-directional signalling and a lift in the pipeline.
Ashton Street, Preston; please note the electrified third line.
The driving cab of this southbound DMU is between two of the sets of concrete blocks which are being installed to act as bases for electrification masts (stanchions).
St Helens 2015 or Eastern Europe in 1947?
I would not normally include this shot, as the electrification element is obscure. Close examination shows a mast, complete with yellow tab, immediately to the left of the red brick chimney stack.
The night before ITV had screened the first of a new series of "Foyle's War" where this chimney appeared as a backdrop in scenes set in the USSR or eastern Poland in 1947. Other scenes used Liverpool's waterside in similar ways.

27.1.2014: wires ready for the electrification of the Western Line, Fruitvale Road Station, Auckland
Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow metal globe on the top of an insulated column, creating very high electric potentials. It produces very high voltage direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels. It was invented by American physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff in 1929.[1] The potential difference achieved in modern Van de Graaff generators can reach 5 megavolts. A tabletop version can produce on the order of 100,000 volts and can store enough energy to produce a visible spark. Small Van de Graaff machines are produced for entertainment, and in physics education to teach electrostatics; larger ones are displayed in science museums.
n.*Electrification:
1.the activity of thrilling or markedly exciting some person or group
activating, energizing, activation - the activity of causing to have energy and be active
2. The act of providing electricity.

Steelwork & piled foundations to continue the electrification of the Midland Main Line north of Kettering to Market Harborough are in evidence at Braybrooke. Contractor SPL has dubbed this "Compound 3", presumably in reference to its other compounds further down the line. Piling seems to be taking place on midweek nights.

The long-disused South to West platform's weeds thrive in the Summer sun. Before long they would be crushed under track and clobber as it will be extensively used as a storage point for pointwork and electrification metalwork.

Little evidence of electrification works in this view, but the new signal on the W-S bidirectional single line stands in readiness next to the old. Track rationalisation and resignalling took place at Earlestown as well as other places.
Phil took this from the western end of Platform 1 looking southeast.

The first wires appear on the Castlefield Viaduct in Manchester.
Electrifying this critical short stretch will allow electric trains to travel between the Chat Moss route and Manchester Piccadilly and between Bolton and Piccadilly. The former will open up both Liverpool and Scotland to electric traffic, the latter will enhance the Scottish option.

Electrification work clearly evident looking west.

So I found my camera (my brother had stolen it) and decided to go crazy with photoshop. Well, maybe not crazy, but this is the most editing my flickr has seen yet. I really need to put photoshop on my laptop, it would make things so much easier.
Anyways, life is good, summer is so close I can almost taste it and I start skating again tomorrow. Also, it's quite awkward when your dad sees you with lipstick all over your face...

Soho Street bridge is the next bridge beyond (ie west of) this bridge which says above all that Bolton looks ahead.
The station is behind the cameraman's right shoulder. The structure to the right, beyond the tracks, is part of the brand new transport interchange being built on the former railway triangle immediately north of the station.
The tracks in the foreground will be electrified and the former fourth platform will be reinstated with a new line to be laid beyond the greenery in the immediate foreground.
