WATERLOO - De beslissende dag voor Keizer Napoleon was op 18 juni 1815. Zijn Franse leger van 124.000 man werd ingeklemd door de coalitielegers. Het Engels-Hollandse leger van 97.000 manschappen werd aangevoerd door hun generaal Wellington en de prins Willem van Oranje, de latere koning van Nederland. Het Pruisische leger telde 117.000 en werd geleid door veldmaarschalk Blücher. Op de plek waar Napoleon werd verslagen, verrees een 40 meter hoge heuvel met er boven op een gietijzeren leeuw als symbool voor de overwinning. Zijn poot leunt op een wereldbol en kondigt de rust aan die Europa heeft veroverd op de vlakten van Waterloo. Vanaf deze hoogte heeft u goed zicht over de vroegere velden waar de soldaten tegen elkaar vochten.
WATERLOO - the decisive day for Emperor Napoleon was on June 18, 1815. His French army of 124,000 man was sandwiched by the Coalition armies. English-Dutch army of 97,000 men was commanded by their general Wellington and the Prince William of Orange, later King of Netherlands. The Prussian army had 117,000 and was led by field marshal Blücher. On the spot where Napoleon was defeated, arose a 40 meter high hill with a top cast iron lion as a symbol for the victory. His paw leans on a globe and announces the rest to which Europe has captured on the plains of Waterloo. From this height you will have a good view over the former fields where the soldiers fought against each other.

With an autumnal mist in the air class 73 no. 73111 stands at Waterloo with the 10.52pm service to Southampton on 14th October 1977.
More of a parcels working than passenger service there was plenty of opportunity en route to get off, set up the tripod, and take a couple of night shots. It was even easier if you were able to sneak a cab ride as I was lucky enough to on a couple of occasions.
For the techie minded I shot this on Agfa CT18 for 24 secs at f8 with an 80B filter

Our cottage was relatively easy to find cos it was just past a road called Waterloo Drive and there was a bus stop round outside! (You can see the sign on the lamp post) Parking was at the front and you had to walk along this path to get to the front door. It is quite strange that our bedroom view showed as much of next door's garden (on the right of the fence) as ours and was wider!

Hastings demu 1014 pauses at Waterloo east working the 14:44 from Hastings to CX, passes 2HAP unit 6171 leading on the 16:27 CX to margate.
The difference in width of the two units can be plainly seen. 14 July 1979.
No, not the Merchant Navy! Peter was departing from Waterloo and was "window hanging with his camera" The picture he got was the un-rebuilt 35011 General Steam Navigation, at the head of an express service.
To the left a good number of train spotters are on the end of the platform and seem to be paying little heed to 35011.
35011 was built at Eastleigh as 21C11, it entered service at Nine Elms in December 1944. The loco was withdrawn 06/02/1966 and is preserved at The Swindon & Cricklade Railway.

Downtown Waterloo is bypassed by the Cedar River to which there are many bridges that cross it. This pedestrian bridge was recently upgraded with color changing lights which had everyone walking it talking and looking up.

En-route to the first location for the night photography workshop and as we crossed Waterloo Bridge the sky out to the east was looking good so Doug suggested we take advantage.

London Waterloo has been in the news recently because of the delays and problems while they lengthen the platforms and alter the track layout. This is how it looked back in February 1967. Sorry about the rough quality - this is a scan from a scruffy print as I no longer have the negative. 038_6702.jpg. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.

A Canadian Pacific train, led by an ex-Milwaukee Road bandit of unfortunate appearance, wobbles toward the ballast pit near Waterloo on ex-MILW trackage (now Wisconsin & Southern) on October 7, 2015.
Hunting season in Wisconsin. Canadian Pacific train G64 bears down on an unsuspecting hunter while utilizing trackage rights on the Wisconsin & Southern to access the Michels ballast pit near Waterloo. Despite recent and extensive tie replacement on this line, the train is only rumbling along at 10 mph - giving the hunter plenty of time to step out of harm's way.
