Auchmacoy: Auchmacoy station was only open from 1897 to 1932, although there was a small goods yard that may have seen some traffic until the branch finally closed completely at the end of 1948. There is reportedly no trace of the station itself but Station House stands by the old goods yard entrance and is still occupied, seen here on 13th April 2025. The passenger platforms were sited where the trees are growing behind the house. Similar 'Station House' buildings can also be seen at Cruden Bay and Longhaven on the way to Boddam.

Blackheath: Exterior of Blackheath station, well-sited in the centre of the attractive Blackheath Village in south-east London, on Monday, 7th April 2025, a gloriously sunny springtime day. This was opened with the North Kent Line on 30th July 1849 and became the junction for the Bexleyheath Loop on 1st May 1895. It is a Grade II Listed Structure by English Heritage.

Deveron Viaduct: The current Deveron Viaduct at Rothiemay was built at the end of the 1890s, when the line to Keith was being doubled and as a consequence the original single track masonry bridge fell into disuse. This was sited to the north side of the viaduct now in use (which itself was singled in 1970) and managed to survive until it was demolished in 1978 or so. This shot dates from either late 1977 or early 1978.

Mirfield: Mirfield is being rebuilt as part of the Trans-Pennine Upgrade project and a hoarding now stretches almost the whole length of the island platform, with construction work continuing behind. 158909 and 904 call with a service heading for Leeds on 26th April 2025.

Kincardine Pier: 47832 leads the 'Great Britain XVII' past the Forth estuary, with A1 'Tornado' on the rear, on 30th Spril 2025. Having reversed at Dunfermline, the steam loco will lead again from Stirling to Inverness.
