Target 57 was not always lengthy but was always varied. Here - on 22 September 1989 - a petrol tank, a couple of acetone chemical tanks and a brace of empty timber OCAs pass Siddick Junction with 26032 in charge.
Siddick Junction signalbox controlled the junction here for occasional trains to the Broughton Moor Royal Navy armaments depot. The 'box was closed in November 1988 replaced by groundframes which were released by Workington Main No.3 until 1992 when the branch closed. It can be seen that the small semaphore signal visible on the previous two pictures has gone (along with rest of them).
A summer Saturday view taken at Charfield, South Gloucestershire back in 1987, where BR large logo Class 47/4 47632 was passing with 1E32, the SO Table 51 09:58 Penzance to Leeds InterCity Holidaymaker Express.
Above the loco on the left is the former Brunel main station building and behind it, the former station master's house. Charfield station was opended by the Bristol and Gloucester Railway in 1844, being originally a broad gauge line that was later converted to standard gauge by the Midland Railway. Passenger services were withdrawn in January 1965, with goods services ceasing in September of that year.

Notes of a militia search squad commander:
“We were passing by another abandoned village this morning in search of the people who couldn’t evacuate, but to our surprise it was completely empty, no looters even (what to loot in such a remote place?). The only villager we found was a priest of a local church, Father Konstantin. He didn’t seem in a sound mind, but he told us the locals were evacuated shortly after the Catastrophe. He didn’t leave, stayed to look after the church. Strange man, but truly a man of God.
We’re staying here at night with my comrades. Going to search more villages in hopes to find any survivors tomorrow. We have to help each other in such desperate and dangerous times.
One day we will rebuild our Homeland.”
Livonia, Avon & Lakeville locomotives 425 (ex-NH 2557) and 420 (ex-LIRR 200) cross Route 251, passing Industry Depot and the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum.
A busy period for Direct Rail Services at the beginning of November 2022 - with RHTT operations adding to their routine work - brought more of their 100-mph bi-mode locos onto the more sedate Cumbrian coastline working nuclear flask trains.
Due to its status as a passing place on the single line between Sellafield and Whitehaven, St Bees frequently sees up and down trains pass each other, as here on 2 November when no fewer than four class 88s would stand in the station while tokens were exchanged. Here 88010 “Aurora” stands ahead of 88001 “Revolution” and four FNAS making up 6M23, the 1317 Hunterston Sellafield. The lights of 88002 “Prometheus” herald the approach of 6C46, the 1902 Sellafield – Carlisle Kingmoor, consisting of four more FNAs and second locomotive 88009 “Diana”.
Nice to see that 88010 has its name back! though, why it didn't get its proper plates is something of a mystery.
It's not cool and it's not a livery
60063 working the 6B13 Robeston Sidings – Westerleigh Murco oil tanks train passes Bishton level crossing, near Magor, South Wales. I was keen to get this shot before the electrification poles ruin the POV forever.
The Bishton gate box, which controls the level crossing, is a GWR box of GW12a design and dates back to 1941. It has 3 lever frames to control the crossing. There is an underpass underneath the main line which cars can fit under. Hence, only vans, minibuses and horseboxes cross the line when the gates need to be opened. It must be an incredibly boring job for the operator as little traffic crosses the line.
Bishton gate box (formerly West signal box) is scheduled to close in 2019 when the area will be controlled from the South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff. This will see the abolition of the last set of wheel-operated gates on the former Western Region.
I'm a little bored found myself looking through my LEGO folder on my laptop. I came across the original image of this and thought I'd have another shot at editing it seeing as the first version was done in Gimp and I wasn't totally pleased with its outcome. This time I've edited it in Photoshop CS5, a program I'm very confident using.
Let me know how it compares to V1.

BR Type 4 Class 46 46023 was recorded passing Dudley Freightliner Terminal with an unidentified freight, but details of the working are provided in the comments, below.
D160 (46023) was a product of Derby Works and entered service in March 1962. It was withdrawn in October 1984.
Opened in November 1967 on the site of the former Castle goods depot this was the first such terminal to be opended in the West Midlands (or Greater Birmingham). It proved to be a considerable success and such was the growth of container traffic, a second terminal was opened at Lawley Street, Birmingham in November 1969. The industrial decline of the 1980s saw the Dudley Terminal close in September 1986.

We have to sail across a 1000 oceans
Through 1000 dark years without time
1000 stars are passing by
We just have to cross another 1000 oceans
1000 times through eternity
Then finally we will be free
