The C&PRR is building its own line between Princes Risborough and Thame Junction to avoid dependence on Network Rail's Thame Branch Siding. Picking up the alignment of the old Watlington line (which merely parted company farther along with the line to Thame as opposed to diverging via a physical junction), the P-Way gang have made good progress in recent weeks in pushing the railhead towards Chinnor, using redundant materials donated by Network Rail.

Jingle Rails: The Great Western Adventure is a G-scale model train wonderland containing nine working model trains that wind through a stunning miniature landscape. The exhibit features miniature versions of local treasures of downtown Indianapolis, including the Eiteljorg Museum, Monument Circle, Union Station and Lucas Oil Stadium. The trains then head through the national parks of the American West, passing legendary sites, including grand railway lodges, Northwest Coast Native villages, and wonders both natural and human-made—Mt. Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Yosemite Falls, Old Faithful, the Las Vegas Strip, Hoover Dam and much more.

A bit of nostalgia, a late night view taken in a Class 205 'Hampshire Unit' sometime in the mid-1980s - most likely between Salisbury and Southampton. Not that sharp due to available light and the inevitable bouncing along jointed rails.
Imagine the throb throb throb of the diesel electric power, the slight smell of wee, maybe salt and vinegar from the recently discarded fish chip wrapper left on the seat behind, all laced with the stench of secondhand Benson & Hedges.
The concern I have with this picture is the red stuff in between the rails about two thirds of the way up the picture... I didn't notice it at the time, but I saw it while I was processing the picture.
Paint?
In between trains you tend to look for other photographic subjects. Quite often,what seemed a great idea at the time later turns out not to be. Still,I quite like this image.

Does anyone know the name of this mine or tunnel?

Extra check rails (and a replacement crossing vee) hacked in to a Peco N gauge turnout for use as inlaid track. Fortunately it doesn't need to work.
The winding rails of the C&O railroad (now CSX Owned) still carry train traffic through the historic town of Thurmond WV, although a train would not pass during our visit to the town on this day.
Geduldig wachten. De overweg rinkelt al in de verte. Behalve dat is er nog niets te horen. En dan.. Een zacht maar onmiskenbaar woefelen van een stoomtrein.
