Bantry Pier: Bantry Railway Pier, Cork, Bandon & South Coast Railway, looking east on 19th January 2020. You can see where the space for the railway track in the pier has been filled in with concrete. The station site lay underneath the buildings in the background which include a SuperValu supermarket. 19th January 2020.

Galgate: A TPE 397 speeds through the site of Galgate station, in the deep cutting to the south of the viaduct. This closed in 1939 and early photos show two platforms and a substantial building on the down line but no goods yard, although there were goods facilities at nearby Bay Horse. This is a rather inaccessible location and this shot was taken through the gates of the Network Rail access point. Whatever remained of the station was swept away in the early 1970s for electrification.

Jedfoot Bridge: View north west over the River Teviot near the site of Jedfoot station on 1 July 2008. The remains are part of the viaduct that once carried the Jedburgh branch across the river some two miles from the terminus. The top of the 150 ft Waterloo Monument can be seen on the horizon.

Bamber Bridge: 40145 from the CFPS (on hire to LSL) is seen at Bamber Bridge on 10 September 2020 heading light engine from Crewe to Appleby. The headboard on the rear of the locomotive, and reports elsewhere, suggest that it is heading to work the southbound 'North Pennine Staycation Express' on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September.

Hull Dairycoates Shed: Great Northern Gresley Class K3/2 5P6F 2-6-0 61969, viewed outside 50B (previously 53A) Hull Dairycoates shed during an absolutely horrific downpour in March 1963. This was during a day out to York, where extensive flooding of the River Ouse had occurred, and Hull, from secondary school, for a small group of rail enthusiasts who were to leave school that year, together with a teacher.

New Holland Pier: British Railways Eastern Region running-in board at New Holland Pier on 17th June 1981, one week before closure and the end of the Humber ferries with the opening of the road bridge. I was glad to have the chance to cross the river by ferry, my first and last time to do so.

Hyndland Depot: For a few years after the electrics were introduced, the headshunt from Hyndland's electric depot usually had a J37 on display, which I assume was occasionally used to move units about (though I don't think I ever actually saw that happen!). This is 64633, on 11th October 1963. It was taken from the new Hyndland platform, with the camera pointing in the opposite direction to the view onto the Crow Rd line. See image [[73600]]
