cal.n Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 None from Scotland yet?Since only a handful of my UK railway photos are taken south of Manchester, I may have to use a 73 up north. 73/9s with the Sleeper in fort William 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2017 The Southern was always a good spot for Pre-Group engines in the early 1960s - so I was definitely not disgusted when visiting Tunbridge Wells 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted September 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2017 I used to see a lot of 73s at Hastings & St Leonard's Railway Engineering This is just one trainload - taken from different viewpoints 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Time to broaden our horizons from the (British) Southern Railway/Southern Region? Here are a few "Southerns" from the USA - to take Comfort from, perhaps. Southern Pacific freight led by a C44-9W near Deming, NM. Kansas City Southern - an SD40 at Beaumont, TX. Staying in Texas, the Pecos Valley Southern is a short-line freight haulier, no. 9 is an SW900. Finally (for the USA), Norfolk Southern C39-8 at Alexandria, VA. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I think I've posted this loco before as a night shot, so here's a daytime view of Great Southern of Spain no. 4 "AGUILAS", preserved as RENFE 130.2124 in its namesake town square. Again one that may have appeared before, one of the WWI Hunslet 4-6-0Ts exported to the Buenos Aires Great Southern (BAGS) with side-tanks removed. As plinthed in Concordia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 An evening in Spencer Street with VLine B76. The station has since been rebuilt and renamed "Southern Cross". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Sorry, really hogging this thread. A couple of "southern" steamers... Southern Pine Lumber Company no. 13, as preserved at Diboll, TX - a Baldwin ten-wheeler (4-6-0 to us) of 1920. Closer to home, RH&DR's no. 3 "SOUTHERN MAID". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Southern Region Suburban Services mirror, on a 4-EPB unit, mid-1980s I think. Little bit of Trojan moquette too: Colour rendition a bit ropey due to the interaction of daylight through the windows and tungsten bulbs from the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivercider Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Here are a couple of recent views taken on the former Withered Arm of the Southern Railway in Devon. First on the Tarka Line cycle path near Torrington The gradient marker is a product of the Southern Railway concrete works at Exmouth Junction, 7/9/2017. Secondly at Okehampton with a Dartmoor Railway service for Meldon Viaduct waiting to depart. DEMU 1132 at Okehampton, 23/7/2017 cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) A few from the southern hemisphere. Aguas Calientes(for Machu Picchu) There are three ways to get to Aguas Calientes, train, helicopter or walk for 3 days. Back in Cusco. San Pedro station. And at other end of town - mixed gauge track for the little used Cusco Wanchaq station.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted September 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) As with Waterloo Station, shown above, Blackfriars also has some of the main communities its trains served displayed in the northern entrance hall. Some of them might have required a change of train and indeed railway company and some sea-sickness pills! At the other end of the station, which now extends right across the river Thames, are the two remaining cast iron armorials, of the London Chatham and Dover Railway Company. The offices of another constituent company could still be seen in 2006. I am not sure of the fate of the South Eastern Railways building, as it lies under the northern flank of London Bridge Station and the current Google Earth street view is of hoardings, scaffolding and polythene sheeting. This is how it looked in 2006. It isn't shown on Historic England's site as a listed building. Edited September 24, 2017 by phil_sutters 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted September 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2017 What a versatile loco. Who would have thought of them now hauling the Caledonian Sleepers? But alas not in original form! I couldn't imagine them doing it with their original puny diesel engines. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) As it's gone 9:30 and no one's come up with a suggestion may I suggest photos taken in the last week? To start off, here's the scene at Highley yesterday afternoon at our Autumn Steam Gala. That's 'P' class 'Bluebell' on the left and the train on the right was hauled by 'Manor' no. 7812 'Erlestoke Manor'.
