Hunterston Low Level Sidings: Flask train ascending from Hunterston Low Level. 68005 'Defiant' leading with 88002 'Prometheus' behind on 20th April 2021.
Bow Church: Docklands Light Railway unit 148, from Stratford to Canary Wharf, arriving at Bow Church on the former NLR Poplar branch, on 15th October 2011. This station opened with the first two stages of the DLR in 1987 and is on a brand new site south of Bow Road. The North London Railway's original Bow station, much bigger and grander, was on the north side of the bridge and remained for many years after its 1944 wartime closure until demolished during the 1970s. DLR trains rise and fall through the site of the old station as they ascend or descend to run alongside the ex-GER main line to and from Stratford.
Visby: The business end of 'Gotlandia II', summer - only fast ferry to Gotland moored at Visby. In the background, MS Visby has just arrived from Nynashamn on the Swedish mainland on 28th February 2017.
Tulloch: A Permaquip self-propelled trolley at Tulloch in 1990.
Spean Bridge: A Mallaig service passes a freight at Spean Bridge in September 1997.
Glasgow Central: Royal Scot 4-6-0 46115 'Scots Guardsman', about to leave Glasgow Central with the Friday/Saturday only 2pm express to Liverpool on 31st July 1965. Only two engines of the class remained in service that summer, and this was I believe the final appearance of a Scot on a service to Liverpool or Manchester, a duty regularly undertaken by the class over many years.
Ballydehob Viaduct: A view of the impressive 12 arch Ballydehob Viaduct with Schull westwards to the right and Ballydehob station just at the eastern end of the viaduct.
Milton of Tullich Siding: A temporary siding was built on this section of track to enable the loading of timber from the Monaltrie Woods to the north west. It would have been sited on one of the two at grade lengths of track shown as white strips beside the rails on the map. The Minutes of a Board Meeting in Autumn 1867 inform us that Col. Farquharson of Invercauld, the local laird, wanted to export his timber by rail; he was Chairman of the Board of the railway company. His Factor, William Brown, himself a Company Director applied on Farquharson's behalf perhaps on his own initiative. They were told that the laird would have to pay for the work himself with materials supplied by the railway company. The Minutes are located in NRS BR/ABR/1/1. Added by Charlie Niven.

Walkden Low Level: This bridge carries Walkden Road over the trackbed greenway in Walkden. The LNWR Low Level station site is to the left in the cutting. The bridge ahead carries the surviving L&YR line and the entrance to Walkden (High Level) station is underneath.
Lochty: The remains of the East Fife Central terminus at Lochty in April 2021. This was last used as part of the short private preserved line in 1990 and the tracks lifted two years later.
Honor Oak Park: 378 136 working third rail, with a London Overground service to Crystal Palace, arriving at Honor Oak Park in south London, also served by Southern services, on 15th October 2011. This station is not to be confused with the former Honor Oak station, now demolished, on the Crystal Palace High Level branch from Nunhead, that paralleled this line about half a mile away to the west and which closed in 1954. Coincidentally, the same year that the Alexandra Palace branch in north London closed, after almost becoming part of the London Underground Northern Line.
