The friendly face of Pete Hackney on the footplate of the 'J27' at Loughborough on the Great Central Railway.
I was lucky to get another footplate ride on the Middleton railway today, I took my camera with my 15-30mm lens to capture as much as possible in the confined space.
He’s on his way up to a pod to join a couple of others. They are dousing an already destroyed abandoned warehouse which still has a few hotspots. Some of the rubble is visible in the lower right of this image. Thanks for watching with me.
The driver and fireman await with anticipation for the signal to give clearance to get the locomotive back on its journey. Captured on a Timeline Events Great Central Railway photo shoot.

45231 comes out of the tunnel at a very autumnal Chirk with a LSL fireman training run ,a conscious attempt was made to conceal the consist of 4 MK3 coaches and a diesel on back . The unexpected pencil beam of sun was a bonus.20-10-2020.
On our way to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum last week we stopped in at my good friends Fire Hall in Toronto and got a personal tour of the place.

They have such lovely rhododendrons and azaleas at the Jenkins Estate.... The care of the plants is done by the Rhododendron Society and is all volunteer work....This is one of the better maintained parks in our park system... At least I think so :-D
St Mary's Bay Camera Club meeting at The Romney, Dymchurch and Hythe Railway saw a great advantage to find lots of grime and oily dirt.
Caroline and myself had a great time and chance to catch with some clubs members..
Thank Craig for organising the access all areas chance.

When I was about 16, I saw this fire; it was probably around 1955. I went home, got my Leica M3 with collapsible f/2 Summicron lens, drove back to the fire, which had been put out by then, and got this shot of a tired firefighter. It's the first of my photographs I considered a success. There's one other shot from that day in this gallery.
Today the fireman and people did two drive byes. One for a lady who turns 90 today and a young lad turned 7. Lights and sirens and look at those SMILES.
Each November, we have the Firemen Parade. On that occasion, people give them money and toys for the children that are in need... :)
As many times as I'd chased and photographed trains on this railroad I'd never actually ridden it except for one short trio behind 425 from Port Clinton to Schuylkill Haven and return. But this past fall I finally rectified that with a ride on Reading and Northern train PIJT from Pittston to Jim Thorpe and return about their spectacular boat tail observation car number 7, the King Coal...which once graced the rear of the Illinois Central Railroad's City of New Orleans.
After a fun 4 hr 35 min stay in Jim Thorpe spent walking around, having lunch and beers with a friend, and photographing 2102 I'm now on my way back north on 2 hr 20 min journey to Pittston via the Lehigh Gorge and up over Solomon Gap. The train consisted of a pair of GP38-2s, power car 1257, coaches 306, 312, 303, Crown Class coaches 451, 562, dome car 4, Pullman sleeper 1127, first class lounge number 7.
Here's a view out the dutch door of the sleeper (former Boston and Maine 'Salisbury Beach') on the fireman's side looking toward the head end of the train as we cross the former Central Railroad of New Jersey bridge and roll through RIVER interlocking at MP 121.1 on modern day RBMN's Lehigh Division mainline. We are dropping down the grade and will leave the CNJ right of way and join the ex LV at a new interlocking built by the RBMN that they have named COAL.
This bridge was actually abandoned around 1972 when the CNJ pulled out of the state of Pennsylvania, but the Reading and Northern relaid the rails on the bridge in 2003 to give their trains direct access to the north from Jim Thorpe without having to travel all the way south to Packerton Junction to access the Lehigh Line for points north. The once double track bridge is now single, with the location of the second track now a wonderful paved bike bath that affords a front row seat to all the rail action. Beneath the train is the former Lehigh Valley Railroad double track mainline. The empty Main 2 is now Norfolk Southern's little used upper Lehigh Line Main at about MP 124.3 while the Main 1 is now owned by Reading and Northern and designated as their Lehighton Branch and used for car storage.
