Tweed, 11 July 1984
...one of the last survivors
when I took this one, while out for the day on a
"Rover" ticket |

A 25-hauled Crewe - Cardiff train heads south
near Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury, Sept 1979
They replaced the cl120 DMUs.
Followed by 33s, 37s, now sprinterised. |

A class 37 heads a northbound train of steel
flats near Little Stretton, Aug 1978
There are still lots of steel
trains on the North and West, in the charge of
class 60s |

A westbound sodium carbonate train crosses
Arnside viaduct with a class 40 in charge, 2 Aug
1979
There's not much freight to
West Cumberland now - not too many 40s either |
|

A "Peak" trundles a mixed freight
southwards near Little Stretton, Aug 1978
I've a feeling it might have
been a 46. Like the mixed freight, they've all
gone too |

47 220 hurries eastwards near Colton Junction
with a short freight, July 1984
The works for the new junction
are rear right; York Minster is just visible
above the rear of the train. |

Near Sonning, a class 50 heads a passenger
train towards Paddington in early 1978
The in-laws used to live
nearby.... |

The first passenger train from Coalbrookdale
since 1962 sets off back to Wolverhampton, 27 May
1979
There haven't been too many
passenger trains down the branch in recent years,
and the pond is just a bit overgrown |

An "Inter-City" DMU approaches
Chinley, 24 Feb 1979
We were out snapping "Leander"

shot! |
