Helmsley: The extant signal box by the former Helmsley Station House has had some TLC in recent times, as the operating floor window area has been boarded over with large ply sheets. There is also now a view of the full front as the large elder bush that latterly blocked most of this has been cut down. See image [[72434]]

Princes Street Gardens Cutting: Units like the Azuma perhaps look at their best knifing through the countryside at speed, but sometimes they have got to make some less glamorous moves. On 17 March 2021 the Up 'Highland Chieftain' creaks across from the Haymarket South Tunnel line to the 'Z' line under The Mound to reach Waverley's Platform 19.

NRM Shildon: A view not often seen. This is the crew access corridor in the tender of 60010 'Dominion of Canada', separated from the A4 during the refurbishment at Shildon that took place when the loco was temporarily repatriated for the A4 'Great Gathering' in 2012. It has since returned to Canada, display restored in Garter Blue livery as LNER 4489.

Crossbarry: Site of level crossing, Crossbarry, looking west towards Upton. While trying to find the site of Crossbarry station, I found a short stretch of walkable trackbed about half a mile west of the station site. This would have been a much more convenient location for the station, being close to the village centre but of course the station was designed as a junction for the Kinsale branch. The hump in the road clearly indicates the site of the crossing and beyond the trackbed is occupied by a house and garden.

Nethy Bridge: The old station at Nethy Bridge on the Strathspey line, seen from the west in 2012, by which time the building had been converted for use as a bunkhouse. Originally opened as Abernethy in 1866, the change to Nethy Bridge took place in 1887. Passenger services ended in 1965, with the line closing completely in 1968.
