TheCromptonParkinson Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Chard those Cess level steps 5180 seem to make no sense at all. I cannot find a clear enough shot of her to see if she wore them at any other time around that period. Derby Sulzers hasn't shed any light on it either, only shot is this one: http://www.rail-online.co.uk/ImageView.aspx?id=1c45acbf-4f4b-4386-9fbe-61429f8d6568 But it's 50 whole pence more than i can afford.

'CHARD Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Here's a branch we don't often feature. However, the reference to Hardengreen Jct is surely spurious, isn't it?

The description for the photo in the link is correct. The photo was taken looking towards Hardengreen Junction from the Millerhill side of the junction for Dalkeith Colliery.

Guest Max Stafford Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 To be honest, I didn't realise Jedburgh had a turning facility. I can't say I've ever seen a photo of it so thanks for enlightening me! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37175 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 From the 1863 map, you can make out the turntable as in those days the mapmakers fortunately listed such objects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 From the 1863 map, you can make out the turntable as in those days the mapmakers fortunately listed such objects. But it doesn't seem to have lasted too long - it's not there on the 1898 map. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Been on Google Earth again, this time starting out around our favourite searchlight! Anyway, one gasometer later, I found myself traversing - in a virtual sense - Boleside Road along the north-westerly bank of the mighty Tweed. And, contrary to what i had believed for ages, the Selkirk branch solum is relatively unobstructed from the point of the A6091 thundering above it, down towards its old river crossing, where the realigned A7 takes over its course on towards Lindean. I half-remembered some road-over rail bridge parapets before, and later during, the eighties roadworks around that area between Darnick and Gala. They always struck me as belonging to the Selkirk branch but I've never been able to place them since. And I'm not sure this evening's virtual drive has done much to improve matters. The key possibly lies in the vintage 1961 AA Scottish Book of The Road, my copy of which awaits, somewhere in the resource space better known as the garage of number twelve!

fegguk Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Between netherdale and Boleside, hidden in the trees, there used to be a foot bridge over the solum. It was still there about 10 years ago. It was a lattice girder structure The building of new road form Netherdale to langlee involved removal of some of the embankment and the remains of the railway bridge over the Boleside road.

62440 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Not sure if we have seen this at Gordon before ? But you may have seen this one of mine - the last freight train ever to leave Gordon for St Boswells - reproduced in Julian Holland's Discovering Scotland's Lost Local Lines The about to be made redundant stationmaster had been waving the flag for the benefit of the unofficial passengers in the Guards van having their last trip to Greelaw. This is almost the saddest photo I ever took, the stationmaster watching his raison d'être disappearing into the distance under the bridge; he was quite choked when he turned round.

'CHARD Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's certainly among your most poignant, Bruce. Here's another, and it's on a branch too: http://www.railbrit....e2.php?id=17963 Indeed, here's another - crucially for me there's a human element in each: http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete2.php?id=17983 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
