I've photographed this cart more times than I care to admit. It's often down at the end of this platform and the weird crookedness of it always amuses me.

A small handcart sits at the end of a train platform. It's all twisted and a bit bent out of shape, and the pull-handle sits at an odd angle. Behind it is a sign, out of focus but still legible, that says "Southern Railway: Passengers must NOT pass this point". Next to the platform is an old diesel-electric locomotive - British Railways Class 31/4 number 31430, if my research is correct.

This is the coupling at the back of the steam engine in yesterday's post. There's something oddly primal about these things - grease, metal, steam, and rubber. The orthographic film renders it well.

This is mostly described in the post itself, but for added description: the buffers of the engine and the carriage are obviously flush with each other, and a basic metal hook hold the two units in place. Running diagonally through the frame is a concertina'd hose that presumably takes steam out of the engine further down the train for some reason. The coupling on that is a lovely mess of metal and chain. There's also a plume of steam visible below.

If I remember right, steam engines need to have these little lamps left on the front so that they're visible in tunnels. I'm not sure just how helpful that little thing would be, to be honest!

A close-up photo of the front end of the Spa Valley Railway's Caledonian Railway 812 Class 828 with a tiny little lamp set on the ledge above the buffers. There's another lamp at the other end of said ledge that appears to be facing the wrong way, thereby being even less use than the closer one!

A heritage railway is a railway operated as living history to re-create or preserve railway scenes of the past. Heritage railways are often old railway lines preserved in a state depicting a period (or periods) in the history of rail transport.

While some heritage railways are profitable tourist attractions, many are not-for-profit entities.

#PuffingBilly, an historic steam train still running regularly in the mountain district, was built to serve at the turn of the century. The #railway is the sole survivor of four experimental lines used to develop rural areas in the early 1900's.

Whitrope Heritage Centre - seen better days. The chap who owns loco 26040 was working on it and showed me the other trains, a pair of Pacers and an old Caledonian Sleeper carriage. All going to ruin - he's moving his loco soon to a better site near Gretna

Two pacer trains sit on track behind a blue sign that reads WHITROPE HERITAGE CENTRE

A pre-production Pacer train, RB004. It's literally a Leyland bus body adjusted and stuck on some rail bogies. It's looking very disheveled.

Me, a white woman with shoulder length brown hair, wearing a blue and grey rain jacket, sits in the driver's cab of a Pacer train. The walls and control panel are a metallic powder blue. In front of me are various buttons, dials and levers

An old blue diesel loco with a yellow front. There's a scaffold tower next to it. Engine number 26040

Aaron makes the ill-advised move of sticking his head out the train on our return journey. This was an incredibly quick grab shot when I realised what he was doing - focusing tab and a calculated guesstimate of the exposure came through on this one.

Who needs electronics?

An idiot sticks his head out the window of a moving train. Another idiot does the same further down the train to photograph him. Miraculously, neither men were decapitated.

I can't shake the feeling that this photo of the Bluebell Railway looks like a model train set, and I'm not sure why.

A view from a footbridge across the tracks at the Sheffield Park station of the Bluebell Railway. I've only just noticed as I write this that there's a member of staff crossing the tracks below as a train comes down the line towards the platforms. Also, these lines are a curvy tangled mess!

I recently broke the habit of a lifetime and used some C41 film I was given back in 2010. Fridge-stored since fresh, so it held up pretty well. It's the first time I've ever used the Elmar with colour film and it did a lot better job than expected; I quite like this one from the Bluebell Railway, for instance.

Still not sold on this whole "colour photography" thing, though. It'll never catch on.

A photo taken out the side of the carriage of a steam train as it takes a corner between some trees. A bridge is coming up in the distance, and there's motion blur on the trees at the left hand side of the frame, indicating speed.

If I remember right, that little lantern has to be on the front by law for when the train goes through a tunnel. It seems so comically small and underwhelming compared to the train itself!

Engine 78019, a British Railways Class 2 2-6-0, waits to leave. It proudly says "Built 1954 Darlington" on the side.

On this railway, you can sometimes pay extra to ride in the brake van. You can tell I'm not a real train nerd because paying extra to be in an unheated open carriage does not sound like my idea of a good time!
