Kyle of Lochalsh: Looking back from the buffer stops at Kyle of Lochalsh on 29 September 2009. Standing alongside platform 1 is ScotRail 158707 awaiting departure time with the mid afternoon service to Inverness.

Furnace Sidings: I mistakenly thought the Pontypool and Blaenavon was having a Gala, but it was the following weekend. However, we travelled through some pleasing countryside and it proved to be a good place to see and hear a steam loco at work. 0-4-0ST 'ROSYTH No 1', AB 1385/1914, was working hard with two coaches.

Tebay: View of Tebay engine shed on a summer evening in 1967. Standard Class 4 4-6-0 75037 is the locomotive in steam in the shed yard.

Liverpool South Parkway: Vintage Trains 'The Mersey Explorer' on 10 September 2022 saw GWR designed 4-6-0 7029 'Clun Castle' working from Tyseley to Liverpool Lime Street. The railtour was photographed passing Liverpool South Parkway during the outward run.

Fordoun: The station building on the northbound platform at Fordoun seen in 1999.

Victoria Harbour: MV 'Lochfyne' resting up in the Victoria Harbour in Greenock in October 1965. After running throughout the summer on the MacBrayne's Ardrishaig mail service, she had recently been relieved by MV 'Lochnevis' (see image [[82231]]).

Rye: The northbound platform at Rye, now the only crossing loop on the singled section of the Ashford to Hastings line between Appledore and Ore, seen from 171727 calling with a train to Ashford International on 6th March 2017. The main buildings of the station, quite delightful architecturally, are on the southbound platform.

Pont DArdres: Heading south east from Calais in the direction of Hazebrouck, SNCF American-built 2-8-2 141R50 passes over the Ardres canal at Pont D'Ardres. The train is made up of distinctive Art Deco carriages of the style introduced in the late twenties and early thirties. These were often seen throughout the next forty years on services between France and Belgium and in the area of the France- Belgium border.

Whalley Viaduct: 70803 leaves Whalley Viaduct and begins the long slog out of the Ribble Valley with the daily log train from Carlisle to Chirk on 7th September 2022. Whalley station can be seen in the distance on the opposite side of the bridge.

Crinan Basin: Masquerading as the celebrity 'Vital Spark', Puffer VIC 27 sits in Crinan Basin in 2005, very much in need of some TLC. This was forthcoming and in 2022 it is nearing the end of a painstaking restoration to sea-going steam powered standards. See image [[78500]] which shows the tremendous progress that has been made.

Gardiner's Bridge: Looking south towards Tranent Parish Church along the frosty course of the waggonway from Cockenzie in 1973. Meadowmill Landsale Yard, on a later railway, was to the right and the wagonway took a sharp left in the distance to avoid the town.

Bamber Bridge: The Pathfinder railtour from Bristol to Carlisle (via Shap) returned south over the S&C with BB pacific 34067 'Tangmere' hauling the trip from Carnforth on the outward leg and to Preston on the return. The latter is seen at Bamber Bridge in the early evening of 3 September 2022.

Uffington: West Coast Railways usually use 37s or 47s to support steam excursions but they also have two operational BRCW Class 33s and 33025 ventured out with 45596 'Bahamas' from Paddington to Worcester on 27th August 2022. The old Type 3 is seen here on the rear of the train passing near Uffington, Oxfordshire, on the GWML.
