DMU Photography - Away from the Three-Quarter View


Recommended Posts

Not sure if there's already a thread for the Class 800 (and derivative) IETs. Also not sure if an IET is a DMU.

 

Anyway, this is "in the landscape", so one out of three isn't bad...

800314 leaving Saltford Tunnel on today's 1402 Weston-super-Mare to Paddington.

 

An after-thought... N gauge train goes through OO gauge tunnel.

170410 rolls into the mist north of Stonehaven while carrying out RILA surveying across east Scotland (the mast was on the front of the unit).

It was running about 12 late at this point, so on a day when there was virtually no scotrail paths being used, it actually managed to delay the LNER 800 following behind.

 

The unusual schedule for anyone interested:

Until the last year or so the line between Huddersfield and Sheffield via Penistone was operated almost exclusively by class 144 Pacers.

 

With the Pacers now history, on 20th July 2021 a Northern Trains class 158 approaches its booked stop at Berry Brow...

... and departs, after one passenger boards.

With rain clouds moving away, 158 763 leads a class 158 / 150 combo past Cockwood towards Dawlish Warren earlier today. This is the 11:41 from Exmouth to Paignton.

I know exactly what you mean @Northmoor.

 

This was my first visit to Par where I've had the opportunity to take railway photographs and I had two objectives in the limited time that I had available;  Take some photos of the signalling infrastructure before it disappears and if the timing was right, photographs any china clay workings.  I'd have liked to have explored around Goonbarrow and the Fowey line too, but didn't have the chance this time.

 

Standing on the platforms though, I was also struck by what I'd missed in my teens and early twenties that I could have enjoyed photographing there if I'd been able to visit...Westerns...class 50s...all manner of other diesel classes on freight...HSTs after their introduction on West of England services.

A pink signalbox ???   

This should be in the Prototype for everything thread !

The signal box and the station buildings have been repainted in LSWR style 'salmon' colouring

The down building is visible on far right
