Cartsdyke: The 5.43pm Glasgow Central - Gourock service photographed near Cartsdyke on 5 June 1962. Locomotive in charge is Fairburn 2-6-4 tank no 42277. The photograph is taken close to Cartsdyke signal box and Ladyburn Shed can be seen in the distant extreme right.
Ben Cruachan Quarry: This was the reversal point at the far end of the Ben Cruachan Branch which ran out from Drishaig Junction, located between Loch Awe station and the Orchy Viaduct. Trains would approach via the lower track on the left and reverse behind the camera to run to the quarry. There was a short loop on the quarry approach in the foreground here.
Inverness: Former Pullman restaurant car SC217M, on 1040 Inverness-Wick, waiting departure in April 1960.
Kirkland Yard: This footbridge crossed the mill lade which ran along the south side of Kirkland Yard. At the far end it led to - until it was accidentally scrapped - the lattice footbridge which crossed over the west end of the yard.
Paisley Gilmour Street: Standard 5MT 4-6-0 73075 prepares to depart from Paisley Gilmour Street, on 16 February 1963, with the 12.59 train to Glasgow Central. It is signalled to take the slow line at least as far as Arkleston Junction.
Lanark: Network Rail Scotland has put hedgehog-friendly solutions in place at Lanark station to allow the little creatures to move freely in and around railway property. Hedgehog sized holes at regular intervals have been cut along the bottom of boundary fencing to create ‘Hedgehog Highways’ which allow the animals to move freely back-and-forth and escape should they become trapped.
Berwick-upon-Tweed: On 13th June 1964, the last day of passenger services between Berwick-upon-Tweed and St Boswells, a Standard Class 4MT 2-6-0 awaits departure from Berwick with the morning service that connected at St Boswells with the up Waverley.
Bassenthwaite Lake: This representation of a French 4-8-2 (241) locomotive, and three dining coaches, were specially constructed for Kenneth Branagh's film of 'Murder on the Orient Express'. After shooting ended they were disposed of and now sit in the reconstructed Bassenthwaite Lake station as the popular Orient Express cafe and special events venue. This view towards Keswick in December 2021. The life, death and rebirth of Bassenthwaite Lake is fully covered on the Disused Stations website.
Eastfield Shed: Ivatt Class 4MT 2-6-0 43000 at Eastfield, after a visit to Cowlairs Works, in December 1965. When new to the LMS this class pioneer had an ugly double chimney but, due to poor performance, this was fairly quickly replaced and most of the class were constructed with single blast pipes, which improved draughting.
Crystal Palace: Crystal Palace, looking west, with 378148 waiting to depart at 13.47 with a London Overground service to Highbury & Islington, on a bright but bitterly cold 29th November 2021. The two outer side walls, dating from the station's opening in 1854, once supported a long dismantled all-over roof. A new shorter canopy has recently been added over part of the platforms near the steps leading up to the ticket hall. Formerly known as the Low Level, that was dropped when the totally separate and better-sited High Level station that had opened in 1865 was closed in 1954 and demolished in 1961. Overground trains first served this surviving station on 23rd May 2010 and it is also served by National Rail's South London Metro service from Victoria to London Bridge via Clapham Junction as well as National Southern services towards East Croydon and Beckenham Junction that use two separate platforms behind the wall on the left and which were added in 1857.
