RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted February 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Sorting a few old negative I found this taken at Tyseley in 1987. It was the last train from the old Moor St hauled by Clun Castle. I had been messing around at the time trying night shots so set the camera to the get the station exposed correctly. The camera was Pentax ME Super with HP5 film which I had been using earlier to get some retro atmosphere shots at Moor St. Quite accidentally I got a Ghost Train effect as the loco passed me.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2014 Remains of Halls Road, Crosskeys 2012 Halls Road by cymro76, on Flickr I am definitely getting on a bit - I travelled over that on a train - and just to show off it was not only a train but a special train which I organised partly to use folks' time during an NUM strike but also to make sure I got a trip over the Halls Road Tramway (as once was). Class 37, a couple of Grampus and a brakevan - er almost exactly 40 years ago . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparks Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) I am definitely getting on a bit - I travelled over that on a train - and just to show off it was not only a train but a special train which I organised partly to use folks' time during an NUM strike but also to make sure I got a trip over the Halls Road Tramway (as once was). Class 37, a couple of Grampus and a brakevan - er almost exactly 40 years ago . I did my A-levels in Crosskeys 1992-94 and used to wander around this area during my lunch breaks. This footpath leads down from the Monmouthshire canal above, crosses Halls Road on the level here and then up and over the Eastern Valley line by the footbridge. I was amazed to find it all still exactly the same 20 years later! The only difference is the Eastern Valley line now has passenger trains to Ebbw Vale again instead of steel trains. Here is the Halls Road viaduct where the line crosses to the other side of the valley at Pontywaun. The viaduct is listed as the eastern abutment contains the first arch of the original tramroad viaduct:- Viaduct by Stuart, on Flickr Your mention of travelling on Halls Road has me thinking - I *must* have seen coal trains on the upper end of the line before it closed but I can't specifically remember them. One of my favourite places to be taken as a small child was the level crossing at Cwrt-y-bella at the top end of Oakdale colliery. The disused line to Markham colliery crossed a lane and disappeared into the undergrowth, protected by a rusty searchlight signal. Sadly I don't think we ever took any photos though. I was reminiscing about all this on Christmas Eve in Tasmania, when I realised that it had been a very long time since I stood and watched a coal train go by:- Coal Train by Stuart, on Flickr Edited March 2, 2018 by sparks 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeOxon Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) There's something I find rather fascinating about your latest, Western Sunset! I like the way the 'rhythm' of the curved line of seats echoes that of the orange doors along the train. At first, I didn't like the waste bin but it does echo the tower above the train, and the people add human interest. Even the circular sign on the path fits into the composition - it should be a GWR 'shirt button' (though not at that location!) An extra millimetre on the RHS would have got the whole of the end of the train but perhaps cropping a little off - back to the orange - would avoid that slightly unfinished look? I prefer this to some of your other recent shots where the train seemed too 'incidental' to the scene.
