The recession and EHH were in the midst of inflicting their wrath on the CN's motive power fleet as 2008 dawned. This string of retired and sold units contained such goodies as ex Wisconsin Central SD40-2s, ex DM&IR SDMs, CN SW1200RSs, and even an IC SW14.

The magnificent Markham Moor filling station on the A1. Designed in 1960-61 by Sam Scorer and a German refugee engineer, Dr. Haynal-Kónyi, the hyperbolic paraboloid roof was originally a cover for the petrol pumps of the Lincolnshire Motor Co. Later, a Little Chef 'restaurant' was built under the roof.
The building has stood empty for many years and was looking very shabby before being recently refurbished and made available to let. Apparently, it is one of only two listed filling stations in the UK.
I'd live in it if I could. Better still, I'd live opposite so I could look at it for longer.

This winding engine was installed on the upcast shaft at Pleasley Colliery in 1922 after it was decided to deepen the upcast shaft to 904 yards and develop faces in the Deep Hard coal seam. To wind from the increased depth would require a more powerful winder working at 150 lbs per square inch and new Lancashire boilers capable of supplying steam at the increased pressure. Markhams of Chesterfield won the contract to supply a twin cylinder winder of 36 inches by 84 inches stroke, with a winding drum of 21 feet diameter. It is currently undergoing restoration by the volunteers at this excellent preservation site.
Class 56 56127 is seen with an empty MGR set for loading under the bunker at Markham Colliery (Derbyshire). The colliery was a landmark next to the M1 for many years and worked its last coal on 23rd June 1993. The colliery was then mothballed but never re-opened. The site is now a somewhat inevitable retail park. Photo: Ivan Stewart Collection.
