The granite Station Master's ('Agent' in GNoSR terms) house is in good repair and is sited just north of the station.
Aberdeen: The GNSR memorial at Aberdeen station to men of the Company's service killed in the Great War. By the end of that war the total number of staff serving their country was 609, or 22% of the workforce. Of these 93 were to die and are recorded on the oak memorial in raised gilt letters.

Tucking Mill Viaduct: View across Tucking Mill Viaduct just north of Midford, looking south in November 2013. The viaduct was built for single track but later widened - although the second track was never laid. It's a pity about all the intrusive fencing.....
Devonshire Tunnel: Inside Devonshire Tunnel see image [[45263]] - it is lit from 5.30am to 11pm.
York: A northbound East Coast service photographed leaving York on 11 November 2014. All due to change in the not too distant future - could well be a bit more colourful in a new livery.
Birmingham International: Not something you see every day - a track gang working close to a high speed line at Birmingham International on 11 November. The PICOW became (understandably) quite animated as this Birmingham New Street bound Voyager approached.

The free parking here is handy if you don't fancy paying £10 to park at the NEC.
Falahill Summit: Rails to Fala, 11 November 2014. View north towards Tynehead. See image [[41038]]
National Railway Museum York: The beautiful Southern Railway 0-6-0 Q1 class steam locomotive, No 33001, of 1942 at the National Railway Museum in York.

The approaching train is the 1323 Cowdenbeath - Edinburgh Waverley.
Haymarket West Junction: A new public housing development near the junction has this facsimile of an old OS map on each building. Note the engine shed (Haymarket). Murrayfield tram stop is opposite where the corn mill was, and the stadium is on the site of a polo field!
Edinburgh Gateway [Tram]: Work well underway on Edinburgh Gateway interchange on 11 November 2015, with an Airport bound tram passing through on the lower level and a 158 for Waverley about to run through the partially constructed station in the left background. Off picture to the right work is also underway on the pedestrian subway under the A8 which will give direct access to the Gyle shopping centre.
Edinburgh Gateway: View over part of the construction site which will become the new Edinburgh Gateway interchange on 11 November 2015, seen from the down side of the line.

Raith's Farm Sidings: Here's Raith Farm, with 2x 158 with the 9am from Inverness slowing down for Dyce The gates to the yard were locked and no sign of Life.
Glasgow Queen Street High Level: As the 1507 Inverness train waits to depart on the 11th November 2016 we trust that someone will remember to fit the insulators beween the contact and catenary wires and the anchor posts before the shiny new installation at Queen Street goes live.
Broxbourne: 317633 departs Broxbourne for Hertford East in November 2016. A bit different to the 305 units that I was used to in my days from the late 1970s when I used the train service from here. The 317 units are now history too.
Clarkston: Take the last train to Clarkston and I'll tweet you at the station. An East Kilbride to Glasgow train calls on 11 November 2017. The train will, as always, be packed and of course there's always someone trying to get on with a bike.
Partick: Apologies for the odd viewpoint but it's the best I could do without trespassing! A reminder to drivers on the western approach to Partick station. Class 380s are not seen around here so 4 cars are not mentioned.

Clarkston: 'Clarkston & Stamperland' announced the big blue running-in board when I first passed through here. An East Kilbride bound 156 calls on 11 November 2017. This line is surely overdue for electrification.
Giffnock: An East Kilbride train calls at Giffnock on 11 November 2017. The fine footbridge would be a casualty of electrification, but it would be a price worth paying, I think.
Bargeddie Bridge: Perhaps we should we now be calling this the 'Cutie Sark' Bridge – the landmark bridge over the A8 at Bargeddie has had a refurbishment, and after its makeover is now painted to match its companion, the 2015 viaduct over the M8.
Mount Florida: Rhubarb, rhubarb. Comings and goings at Mount Florida on 11 November 2017. A Circle service on the left takes the Cathcart line, as indicated by the toy signal. An incoming service draws in on the right.

Note what appear to be new foundations just behind the fence see image [[66402]]... not to mention a new set of initials.
Millerhill Engineers Depot: While the NE corner of Millerhill remains unoccupied, save for one long siding, the area has now been levelled, compound fencing added, roadways built and a gated entrance formed off the depot entry road. This Sunday morning view on 11 November 2018 shows the current situation. In the left distance are the EMU stabling roads, with the PW/ballast sidings further left out of shot. In the middle distance, on the west side of the old yard, are the RERC and Biogen recycling plants, with the yard's original admin block nearest the camera on the east side. On the extreme right, just inside the compound entrance, plant and eqipment stands alongside signs of recent construction activity. See image [[66401]].

Crossgates (Fife): Some relics of the mining industry, seen on the western outskirts of Crossgates on 11th November 2019
Glenfinnan Viaduct: The iconic Glenfinnan viaduct lit up red tonight (Wednesday, November 11) as a tribute to all those who have lost their lives in defence of the country. The 21-arch Victorian viaduct, which is famous across the world for its starring role in the Harry Potter film series, turned red between 19:00 and 21:00 as the nation marks the 102nd anniversary of Armistice Day. Lighting up Glenfinnan viaduct also pays tribute to the role the West Highland Line played in WWII – transporting thousands of service personnel from Britain, and nations across occupied Europe, to commando training centres located in the north west of Scotland. While the coronavirus pandemic caused the cancellation of traditional remembrance services at Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley, Scotland’s two busiest stations observed the two minutes silence at 11:00 this morning.
London Euston: Avanti West Coast transports wreaths from across the UK to London Euston for Routes of Remembrance.
Scorton [Lancashire] [2nd]: The flow of spent ballast from Carlisle to Pinnox Sidings near Longport, Stoke has been operating daily in November with the empties returning north overnight. Colas 56113 passes over Station Lane at Scorton, late on the afternoon of 11th November 2021, with thirteen loaded box wagons in tow.

| 2007 | Desert Fox photos aided war mural [BBC] | An artist turned to a famous World War II German commander^s photographic collection in her research for a mural recalling a former Scots regiment. Tracey Shough^s work commemorating the Seaforth Highlanders covers the walls of Invergordon Railway Station. She had struggled to find evidence of how Seaforth Highlanders were attired at St Valery-en-Caux in France in 1940. However, images once belonging to Field Marshal General Erwin Rommel - the Desert Fox - provided the detail. The Seaforth Highlanders merged with the Queen^s Own Cameron Highlanders to form the Queen^s Own Highlanders in 1961.[BBC] |
