Giffen: Eastfield's B1 4-6-0 61342 was in foreign territory when it visited Giffen on 10 April 1966 as part of the 'Easter Rambler Number 5' tour of Ayrshire. It is seen getting ready to head back to Lugton.

New Brighton: 507010, with the grey brushed metal livery with yellow graphics, stands at New Brighton with 14.38 circular back to here via Liverpool Central. There is a 10 minute turnround time here, which is not enough time to pop down the road outside to look over the sea wall if you are doing the system in a day.

Craigendoran: A 1965 photograph of a Clyde Hover Ferries SRN6 hovercraft arriving at Craigendoran, probably with a service from Greenock. Some railway features (signal, the electrification masts and so on) around the upper and lower platforms of Craigendoran station can be seen in the background. Disembarking from a paddle steamer at Craigendoran pier and strolling through to the station must have been rather more agreeable than traipsing over the beach to get to a platform.

Barnetby: 66419 heads an eastbound freight train at Barnetby on 25th November 2015 almost at sunset. Barnetby was well known for its many and various semaphore signals but just a month after this shot was taken all were swept away in a resignalling scheme.

Stoke Bruerne: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness - Keats had kicked the proverbial bucket before the S&MJ or any of its constituent parts had been built; but as a sensitive soul, he would no doubt have appreciated the unusual combination of stone, red brick, and blue brick in this arch bridge at Showsley, just to the west of Stoke Bruerne. It has cracks under the arch, but as it is now not likely to carry any dynamic loads heavier than a meandering fox, I don't think we need to worry about it.

Anderston Quay: 'Balmoral' completes a 'flying cant' at Anderston in 1989. Basically a u-turn in the Clyde. Exciting to see but not half as exciting as when PS Waverley did it.
