Taken during the 'wilderness years' of the island platform at Taunton which lasted from 1970 to 2000. There was no platform furniture on the island then, but the stairs remained, and the platform was I believe occasionally used on summer Saturdays and possibly for traincrew relief. The re-signalling of the Taunton area in May 1986 made these platforms reversible, and they came back into regular passenger use in 2000. cheers 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Border Reiver Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 One afternoon in April 1964 I wandered down to one of my favourite spots for photographing trains; Carlisle Caldew Junction opposite Carlisle No. 3 signal box. This is where one of the two freight lines which bypassed the station met the WCML; a great place to take photos. I took a few photos there before I wandered off to bunk Upperby shed. Here we have Peak class (later class 45) D 82 (later 45141) heading north on the down Thames Clyde Express 1S68. Above the loco Carlisle Castle and the tower of the Catherdral can be seen. Behind the loco is Carlisle's slaughterhose, long demolished. Above the third coach is W T Tiffin & Son from whom I bought my first motor cycle; a 250cc BSA C15. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vertically-extended yellow warning panel on this one was reminiscent of several mid-60s Class 46s which sported similarly enlarged yellow to the top of their split-centre headcode panels. AFAIK though this was the only Class 45 which got the treatment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None originally had the small exposed 'sort of triangular' grille below the main side grille either. During the mid-60s refurbishment D138 - 173 had their split headcodes replaced by the single type and all gained the small side grilles. I'm not sure why the headcode replacement was deemed necessary, however many Class 45s were converted to the single type as well - with the exposed small grilles too, making these and Class 46s look almost identical - and I remember reading somewhere that the Peak refurbishment programme would have had both classes tidied up and looking the same, however underfunding meant the cosmetic changes to the Class 45s came to a premature end, with just the more important technical improvements being applied. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
