Soldiers' Trenches: A series of trenches to drain land were dug by soldiers in 1763 on the forfeited Rannoch Moor estate. The trenches can be seen from the train and there is a trackside sign to advise passengers, seen here in 1997. Reaching this location involved much walking of trackless bog. Today there is a forestry road. The view looks south, the location is about half way between Gorton and Rannoch.

Monktonhall Junction: There are two bridges over the River Esk close to Monktonhall Junction. The bridge to the right is the original North British Railway bridge and the bridge to the left was built as part of that company's Lothian Lines. View to the west. Today only the girder bridge carries tracks, the ECML having been diverted onto it.

St Helier Weighbridge [Jersey]: A 31st May 2021 view of the former eastern terminus of the latterly narrow-gauge Jersey Railway at The Weighbridge (now Liberation Square) in St Helier. The 7.5 mile line from St Helier to Corbiere on the west coast of the island was an early victim of bus competition, closing completely in 1936. It was, however, largely re-opened for goods traffic by the occupying German forces in 1942, transporting sand for construction of heavy fortifications along the south west coast. The track was quickly removed following the liberation of Jersey in May 1945, but the station building at St Helier survives as a shopping centre adjacent to the town's well-appointed busstation.

Kentish Town [LUL]: Exterior of Kentish Town, LUL Northern Line, on 12th August 2015. This station was opened on the Highgate branch of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway on 22nd June 1907 and has a connection with the National Rail station on the Midland Main Line, out of view on the left. This is another of the many deep-level tube stations on the London Underground designed by Leslie W. Green who died in 1908 at the tragically early age of 34.
