Bo'ness TMD: A busy scene in Bo'ness Works with 47643, Wemyss Private Railway No.20, Hunslet Austerity No.19 and D49 Morayshire receiving attention. The NBR saloon is in the background.
Moy: 66726 'Sheffield Wednesday' and 73970 at Moy with the Caledonian Sleeper for Inverness on 2nd May 2025.
Queens Park: Quotation and invoice from BR Scottish Region to my father, for the purchase of two semaphore signal arms from Queens Park station, for the princely sum of six shillings each in 1961.
Wolverhampton: Apparently it was part of the design brief for the tram extension to Wolverhampton station, that no-one should be able to rest a coffee cup on these steel posts. It works. For reference, the tram is travelling right to left; the chap on the left in the red jacket is standing where I was when I took my previous image [[81848]] during construction. This extension was one of several reasons why I did a Tramathon, covering the entire current network in well under a day - it's only one line.
Strathyre: Just north of Strathyre station a minor road crossed the line. This statue, part of The BLiSS Trail, stands just north of the site of the bridge. In the left background is the Munro Hotel. The statue 'Drover's Bhò' refers to the former drove road through Strathyre. This ran down the west side of the River Balvaig unlike the 1750s Military Road (now the A84) and railway which are on the east side.
Grampound Road: 45003 climbs up the grade from Ladock towards Grampound Road with the 1354 Penzance to Bristol service in September 1985. The land of green fields and dairy farms once. I had come here to photo 'Clun Castle', which was following 45003. This was the year of GWR150 and 7029 had worked to Truro that morning, the first steam loco on the Cornish Main line since the 1960s.
