Eye Green: The forecourt of Eye Green station (between Peterborough and Wisbech) on a dismal day in either 1970 or 1971. Passenger traffic had ended in December 1957, although it remained open for goods until April 1966, and as can be seen the area around the station was dominated by brickyards, at least some of which were still active with an aerial ropeway visible in the shot.

East Grinstead: 37418 at East Grinstead in spectacular winter sunshine - but bitterly cold - with UK Railtours' 'A Simply Awkward Week Adventure' tour, at 14.08 on Tuesday, 30th December 2025. The train was hauled here by 37407 after reversing at South Croydon on its way back from Tattenham Corner, and after an hour's break reversed again with 37418 taking the train back to Oxted. There yet another of the tour's many reversals took place, 37407 once again taking over for the grand finale of a visit to the Uckfield line.

Fin del Mundo: Looking back from the terminal building at a very damp Fin del Mundo, with a recently arrived train standing in the platform, in February 2024. The coaches can be seen to have very distinctive rooflines. Diesel loco 'Tierra del Fuego' has a worksplate showing it was built by Barries Engineering at Port Shepstone in South Africa in 1999, four years after the old Ushuaia prison railway first reopened.

Shaw Crossing: This poor old bridge is east of Shaw Crossing. The line crossed the Baston Burn here. It looks like wooden training walls were added to the burn to protect the bridge. The brickwork is quite deteriorated, which is not uncommon on the remaining Forth and Clyde Junction Railway bridges.

Fleetwood Ferry [Tram]: An undated shot from the early 1970s with an early OMO (One Man Operated) tram setting off from Fleetwood to Starr Gate and passing along Pharos St. To the right can be seen part of the Pharos Lighthouse, which was constructed in 1840 and as far as I know is still in operation.
