Cook Station in the Nullabar Desert in Oz in September 2004 when the Indian Pacific stopped for its fuel stop. Wow it was hot!  Train conductor about to give the right away and fortunately I was not left behind!

 

More desert pictures please!

I am not sure whether this is truly a desert photo. It was take by my grandfather while he was installing electricity in the Abbassia barracks in Egypt in 1913-14. There's not a lot of train but it does seem very dry and dusty there.

Apart from the green strips which are irrigated the rest of Egypt is desert. The rainfall is too low for it to be anything else!

I've travelled fairly extensively in Egypt and I can assure you there is an awful lot of sand.

If you were in Leeds at the time, you might regard The Clyde as in another country! I could have offered 45577 Bengal, but the nameplate wasn't visible, which seems to have been a requirement.

Any photos with a coastal head- or name-board or branding?

That brought back the memories, Phil.   I used to travel from Leeds on the 'Down'  'Thames - Clyde  regularly.

Thanks.

The railway bridge starts at the castellated archway. In 1964 the Anglicized form of Conwy was still in use.

Where do we go next? Let's try Ireland, but knowing my track record for asking for the impossible....................

Have we had 'sleepers'?

 

Lets start with UK and see if we can circumnavigate the globe?

 

If we've had 'em before - have a wildcard.

 

Here's two at Wembley Carriage Sheds

You miscounted. I can see about 20. Anyway, here are some sleepers in Wales, on the Teifi Valley Railway:

Next, carry on with a world tour of sleepers.

Broad gauge V/Line loco N473 and another unidentified member of the class are in control of the Adelaide bound 'Overland' overnight passenger service from Melbourne at 0700hrs on 10 April 1993 - the rolling stock is a mix of sleeping and sit up cars. The train has just descended Warlah bank (the track can faintly be seen curving away to the right in the background) and is approaching the sleepy hamlet of Callington.

 

Today 'The Overland' is a pale shadow of its former self, now  day train rarely loading to more than 5 or 6 carriages, and operating only twice weekly; its future constantly under threat.

Next - keep the sleeping car trains coming
