North Grimston Viaduct: A scanned 35mm colour slide image, taken in December 1986, of the North Grimston Viaduct, between North Grimston and Setttrington, East Yorkshire, on the defunct NER Driffield to Malton Railway line. I am led to believe that, apart from Burdale Tunnel, this was the largest structure on the line, passing over a farm access lane. However, it has been demolished since the picture was taken, date unknown. The embankments can now be seen from the North Grimston to Norton road, the B1248.

Rhyd Ddu: On the return Welsh Highland Railway journey from Caernarfon to Porthmadog Harbour, on the afternoon of 22nd May 2016, another lengthy wait ensued at Rhyd-Ddu station for a Caernarfon train to arrive, clearing the single line. Ex-South African Railways NSGG class 16 2-6-2+2-6-2 No.138 eventually arrived at Rhyd-Ddu and in common with stations on the sister Ffestiniog Railway, is crossing on the right. The weather had improved considerably by this time to when I set off from Porthmadog in the morning.

Haymarket: The Railway Society of Scotland organised a tour of suburban railways around Edinburgh on 27th August 1966, with J36 65345 in charge. The train was photographed approaching Haymarket on the first stage of the tour, en route from Corstorphine to Portobello.

Dunnikier Works: Thos. Muir's Den Road scrapyard in 2000. Three Andrew Barclay locomotives basking in the sunshine: 1807 of 1923, 946 of 1902 and 1245 of 1911 (the latter has since returned to steam on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway [[79445]]). Two further locos are hidden beyond.

Barton and Broughton: 90019 and 90036 head through the site of Barton and Broughton station with containers from Mossend to Daventry on 14th January 2022. This location changed significantly with the demolition of the station in 2013. See image [[24852]] from 2009.

Burnham-on-Crouch: A grainy photo from my archives of a much changed scene as a reasonably-sized crowd of passengers alight from a Wickford to Southminster service at its penultimate stop at Burnham-on-Crouch in June 1972. The train will head away from the camera when it departs. Even then, the station had been reduced to just one bi-directional platform with the removal of the passing loop. The branch has since been electrified (see my photo image no. [[67456]]).

Leyland: 87002 'Royal Sovereign' comes out of the sun at Leyland on 13th January 2022, heading for Carlisle with the first of two loaded test runs working with a rake of LSL 1st Class MkIIIs and a DVT.

Bishopbriggs: Stand back fast train approaching. A HST, ex-Aberdeen 09.44, about to hurtle through Bishopbriggs heading for its last stop at Glasgow Queen Street just three minutes away.

Elderslie Junction: Standard 5MT 4-6-0 No 73009 has just arrived from Ayrshire on 22 May 1963, and has required assistance to reverse its long freight train on to the goods line at Elderslie. The loco at the rear would then allocate the wagons to the appropriate line in the goods yard.

St Boswells: A Class 26 brings an Edinburgh-bound service into St Boswells in September 1962.
