Holgate Junction, 8/4/82 and it looks like 47456's driver is applying full power, something that drivers of Southbound Deltics weren't permitted to do until they'd reached Chaloners Whin Junction. FTR it was hauling 1M77, the 1521 Newcastle - Liverpool LS. #FortySevensOnFriday

A flashback to this day five years ago, when I did an eight-mile circular walk from/to home under Scotswood Railway Bridge on the Tyne, then via Blaydon and Swalwell. It saw traffic until 1982 when Tyne Valley Line traffic was diverted, to continue east to Newcastle via Dunston.

On this day. West Silkstone Junction signal-box 20/3/1969. The box was at the top of the Worsbrough incline between Wath and Penistone, the class 76 bankers were detached here and assisting locomotives for extra braking were attached to descending trains. © Keith Long

As the UK Government weighs up whether it can afford rail electrification, the Indian Government is celebrating how much it has saved by electrifying & how it has created a resilient, affordable system that has avoided oil shocks.

Shooting into the sun never really works, especially the low sun at this time of year, so tried just for a record shot. Large logo 69002 leaves a trail of clag near Manea with 6E86 Middleton Towers to Monk Bretton Sand on 19th March 2026. #Class69 #RailwayPhotography
