Eggborough Powerstation: A cold day with a stiff wind in February 2018 as 66751 heads away from Eggborough Power Station with the 10.03 empties to Redcar Bulk Terminal. The power station closed in September of that year although electricity generation had already ceased in March. An amount of track from the branch which served the site was donated to the Wensleydale railway in 2021 according to Wikipedia..

Ince: 150150, deputising for a 4-car hybrid Cass 769, calls at Ince with a Southport to Stalybridge service on 19th November 2025. The station access footbridge, from which this picture was taken, and also the adjoining road bridge, were rebuilt for electrification but there is little other change to the station apart from platform resurfacing. See image [[80218]] from a similar viewpoint in 2022.

St Rollox Works: I used to love going around St Rollox to see which Class 20, 26 and 27 were in the works. It all looks very sad and run down in this 1987 picture.

Ingatestone: Ingatestone, Essex, seen from passing 720125 with the ex-10.38 train from London Liverpool Street to Clacton-on-Sea, at 11.04 on Sunday, 26th October 2025, while on my way to the First Day opening of Beaulieu Park station, east of Chelmsford. The first station here was temporary, opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in July 1843 and replaced by the present permanent station a few weeks later. It is now a Grade II Listed Building by English Heritage.

Carstairs South Junction: The closure of Prestonpans signal box on 11th September 1977 required ECML morning services to be diverted via Carstairs and Hexham. At least one enthusiast seems to be enjoying the journey as 55013 joins the WCML at the former Strawfrank Junction with the 10.00 from Edinburgh - Kings Cross.

Margam Knuckle Yard: 08630 shunts Margam Knuckle Yard, as seen from the public level crossing at the Swansea end of the yard in July 2006. I can recall when 08630 was based at Old Oak Common, Motherwell and Grangemouth. Some of the 08s really moved about.
