There is very little freight along the Vale of Glamorgan line nowadays now that the coal trains to Aberthaw stopped running in 2018 and the Ford Vans trains stopped last year. A welcome exception are the cement trains to and from Westbury and Moorswater, in Cornwall. In this scene, Class 70 No. 70812 passes through Barry station on the ‘down loop goods line’ to Aberthaw cement works working the 6C36 from Moorswater Tarmac empty tanks. The line to Barry Island is seen on the right.
I thought it was about time I posted a photo of the jetty ... again :-)
The slight colour cast in the bottom LH corner is from another jetty light.

Well yesterday was a superb day at the Great Central Railway with the Timeline Events team. Nowhere else in the country can you capture scenes like this, and with Timeline bringing it all together a memorable two days on the former Great Central Mainline.
In Steam and both running towards each other we have Standard 5 73156 on maroon coaching stock as 8F 48624 is seen on the windcutters.
First railway charter in a good while and back with a bang, great to catch up with so many friends over the two days, roll on the next one :)
Most likely a set of footprints from a fellow photographer as they passed by looking for that perfect spot, for that perfect picture of the northern lights.
Another shot from a trip to The Pinnacles desert in Nambung National Park, Western Australia in late October 2024. This one features the Milky Way core hanging over a bright shining Venus and the Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, which is hiding in the gap between two of the limestone pillars.

The southern portals of Dinmore Tunnel between Moreton-on-Lugg and Leominster on the Marches Line at dusk.
Not quite as it seems, the Class 175 ATW Coradia just disappearing nearest the camera arrived 51 seconds after the farthest one emerging from the far portal. Both shots hand held at 1/10th of a second and combined. Friday 28.11.14
We ended up camping at Sun Lakes due to the burn ban at Steamboat Rock but spent a day over there anyway because it is such a beautiful place. As we were leaving I was watching the cloud/light play on the rock and my knowing wife and friends dug out their chairs and sat in the parking lot and waited patiently while I set up my tripod. We must have looked pretty funny sitting in a parking lot surrounded by lush areas of green. Anyway, one beer and many Doritos later the clouds and the light bent to my will and I got the shot that I wanted. If you want to see what we looked like go to my fb page (Rich Border) :-)
6M50 Westbury - Bescot passing by Shustoke, the embankment here has had some vegetation clearance which opens out the shot, taken from the top of the steps at a foot crossing. In the foreground, against the sky, are some berries on a bullace bush (look like sloes but the branches have no thorns). In the past I've made excellent gin with berries from this bush, though this year I have sourced from elsewhere, the footpath opposite the Humber Refinery bridge was a good find.
Canadian National's new Grand Trunk heritage unit leads one heck of a power lashup on westbound CN train M337. Here it is seen passing the local elevator's Ex-CN&W switching motor, in Seward, IL. CN&W 4120 is a GP7 and was built for the Rock Island in 1951 as a high hood. It was RI 1221 later acquired by CN&W.
Moss growing on rocks in the middle of a raging waterfall. Kind of ironic. Moss only growing on still objects. The waterfall is anything but still. I thought that this scene was very peaceful. with the sun beating down on the little island of mossy rocks. It is hard not to feel relaxed
BR Standard 2MT 78018 departs Quorn and Woodhouse on another very sunny and warm afternoon. I'm sure the signal box on the right used to be more a shade of yellow, so either its had a repaint or the colour has faded badly!

Anton Parsons Passing Time sculpture
Passing Time is by Auckland-based sculptor Anton Parsons, a graduate of the University of Canterbury’s School of Fine Arts. The work consists of a twisting ribbon of randomly linked boxes - with each box depicting one of the years between 1906 (founding of CPIT) and 2010 (the date of the sculpture’s installation). The work can be walked around, walked through, touched and sat on.
“The winding form of the sculpture – placed on a street within the original 1851 grid plan commissioned by the Canterbury Association for their new settlement – is also a nod to the winding Avon River, an irregular feature of the landscape over which a street grid was placed,” says Anton Parsons.
