In the summer of 2013 coal traffic was considerably more buoyant than even 2 years later, let alone compared to their virtual extinction in 2020.
With the third coal train in less than 2 hours, 66607 draws forward from Rugeley power station towards Rugeley Town station, waiting for a passenger train to clear before heading south with 4V47, the 1115 Rugeley to Stoke Gifford.
The semaphores here were controlled by Brereton Sidings signal box, located south of Rugeley Town station. The Chase line was resignalled later in 2013, with electrification and W10 gauge enhancement completed in December 2018.
History begins today.... Tomorrow night these signals will be swept away.

i love it. Please give me your honest opinions, where I've gone wrong and how I can improve it. Iknow it's early days and I have a lot to learn.

Do you remeber when semaphores were still in use at Penzance? I always feel that locations were in some way 'lesser' once the old semaphores had gone.
Here we see unnamed Class50's 50038 50040 at Penzance on 9-9-77.
I had moved to Plymouth in August 1977, so the delights of Cornwall lay before me. Most of my photos from that era are in the ownership of my friend Martin Loader so you will have to wait for him to put them on one of his sites. You can see a few of these on Hondawanderer.co.uk under the Tom Derrington Railway Archive section.
