28th May 2018. Usually I will go and stand against the wall on the far right in the picture where you can get a good view of anything coming out of Keighley. However I wanted something different and as the sun was in the right location I walked down the path and under the bridge to get a photograph from the other side.
In the picture you can see BR 4F 0-6-0 No.43924 running the Keighley loop before it reverses into Keighley Station to collect her coaches for the last train of the day to Oxenhope. Although No.43924 has BR numbering she was built at Derby Works in 1920 by the Midland Railway. She is only one of four Fowler Midland Big Goods design of her Class in preservation; and while No.43924 was built under the auspices of the Midland Railway. The other three engines in preservation where built by the London Midland Scottish Railway.
The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge United States heritage railroad located in the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, adjacent to Interstate 70 in Colorado.
This tourist train runs between the communities of Georgetown and Silver Plume, a distance of 2 miles (3.2 km). The route is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and ascends an elevation of 640 feet (195.1 m) through mountainous terrain along with trestles, cuts, fills, and a grand loop.[3][4]
The railroad is conveniently situated near I-70, with Silver Plume Depot sitting adjacent to the eastbound on-ramp. Just east of Silver Plume on I-70 there is a parking area named Georgetown Loop Overlook providing scenic views to motorists. The Clear Creek Greenway Trail access road connects Silver Plume Depot, Georgetown Loop Overlook, and the Devil's Gate Station near Georgetown. This trail is accessible to bicyclists and hikers.
Indian Railways WDG-3A Alco 14855 catches the late afternoon light in December 2016 as it eases its train of BCNA type vans into the north platform loop at Asalpur-Jobner station. The train was carrying Jaypee Group bagged cement and it would be held here for about twenty minutes to enable a Jaipur bound express service to pass.

Members of the Freightmaster Forum have advised me that this could well have been a T53 Trip working from Ashburys. My thanks to them for the added clarification.
D304 was delivered in November 1960 and completed over 24 years of service prior to withdrawal in January 1985. It was scrapped at Crewe Works in May 1988.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railway located in Clear Creek County, Colorado in the United States. The Georgetown Loop Railroad was one of Colorado’s first visitor attractions. Completed in 1884, this spectacular stretch of narrow gauge railroad was considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie two miles apart in steep, narrow Clear Creek west of Denver. To connect them, engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance, slowly gaining more than 600 feet in elevation. It included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4 percent, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil’s Gate High Bridge. The Colorado & Southern Railway operated the line for passengers and freight until 1938. Originally part of the larger line of Colorado Central Railroad constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, it was later dismantled, but was restored in the 1980s to operate during summer months as a tourist railroad, carrying passengers using historic narrow-gauge steam locomotives.
In 1959, the centennial year of the discovery of gold in Georgetown, the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park was formed by the Colorado Historical Society. The Colorado Historical Society’s chairman negotiated a donation of mining claims and mills, and nearly 100 acres of land. Rail line construction began in 1973 with track and ties donated by the Union Pacific Railroad.
The four-mile segment opened on March 10, 1884 and is a restored segment at the upper end of the historic Colorado Central main line up Clear Creek Canyon west of Golden. It climbs approximately 640 feet between the two towns. The longer main line up the canyon was constructed in the wake of the Colorado Gold Rush and was used extensively during the silver boom that followed in the 1880s to haul the lucrative silver ore traffic down from the mines at Silver Plume. The Loop portion of the line was the crowning segment of the line at the top of the gorge and features a 95-foot high trestle. The entire line, including the Loop, was dismantled in 1939, but interest in restoration of the Loop segment as a tourist attraction in the 1970s led to the construction of a new high bridge and the refurbishment of the segment, which reopened in 1984.
The train ride includes an optional walking tour of the Lebanon Silver Mine, located at the halfway point on the railroad. Visitor walk 500 feet into a mine tunnel bored in the 1870s while guides point out the rich veins of silver and the history of the mine.

NGC 3576 is a giant star forming region of gas glowing strongly in Ha and is located about 9,000 light years away in Carina. Its characteristic loops are formed by stellar winds.
The image comprises a number of NGC objects - NGCs 3579, 3581, 3582, 3584 and 3586. 3576 encompasses the whole centre bright region.. There are also a number of prominent Bok Globules, dark dense stellar nurseries.

The loop trail stays close to the geology of Turtle Rock, a popular climbing destination in summer. This is only an outcropping attached to the much larger formation of Turtle Rock.

We picked a sweet spot on a rock outcropping just above the loop, then sat and waited for over an hour for any sign of action. Finally we were treated to one train going downhill, followed shortly thereafter by an uphill one.
It may not look very exciting, but it's a lot of fun watching the longer trains monopolize the entire landscape; as it passes through the tunnel and around the hill, it loops over itself and then right into the foreground.
The Fallowfield loop line was opened in 1892 and ran round the south side of Manchester, linking Sheffield Victoria with Manchester Central.
The large building in the background was Reddish MPD which was opened in 1954, to maintain the EM1 and EM2 locomotives that would operate over the 1500v DC Woodhead Line and also the 506 emu's which operated the Manchester-Glossop services.
The depot closed on the 30th July 1983 and the last freight train on the Fallowfield Loop Line was behined 47443 on a Freightliner from Trafford Park in October 1988.
This was the view from Station Road looking towards Hyde Road Junc a few months after the line had closed, the Fallowfield Loop line is now a cycle path.
