Following the handover of its non-suburban rail services the federally owned Australian National Railway in 1978, the State Transport Authority of South Australia retained two ALCo DL531 units for a time.
These two units 830/845 were often hired out to Australian National as was the case on the evening of 22 October 1982 when 830 was seen in the Adelaide Parklands with a Mile End to Dry Creek transfer freight.

Too easy.........
On a grey Pennine Spring day in May 1981, a westbound freight approaches Hadfield behind two 76 class locomotives. The 1500v DC electrified Woodhead route linking Manchester and Sheffield closed to through traffic just a few months later.

Pacific National locos NR109 NR74 with 36 carriages in tow take the mainline through Port Germein, South Australia with Great Southern Rail's legendary 'Ghan' service from Adelaide to Darwin on Sunday 2 July 2017.
The service runs once weekly in each direction and loadings are at their highest during the cooler months.

Not quite sure what constitutes a 'train in the landscape'?!! Hence, do these qualify? Taken during last weekend's GWSR diesel 'bash'.
This is what the opening post in the topic said which seems pretty straight forward.
Hello All,Thought I'd start a new topic - "Lines in the Landscape". As the title suggests, this is the place to put your photos where the train/railway is just a part of the overall landscape. Could be town or country - the railway might dominate the landscape or may just be a tiny part of it.
Individual interpretations may differ.

A 4-EPB rattles it's way off the West Croydon line, across the point work and passes the disused signal box at Sutton, sometime in 1984.

Google maps say I can manage one way in 10hr 35 mins, so if I didn't eat, sleep or stop for a p you never know.
Thankfully Eddie has saved Me with his Z.
Of course what I would have done is just popped down to Bassendean and photographed the Zanthus cabin that's been relocated to the Rail Museum and just told you chaps I did the big trip
I do have a couple of images taken at Zanthus tucked away somewhere - not sure whether I got the nameboard in the shot and definitely no station buildings.

Along with the Deltics, the life and soul of the party at Kings Cross in the diesel years - the Craven's Class 105s.

In October 1988, Western Railway metre-gauge YP 4-6-2 no.2196 prepares to depart from Udaipur City with a westbound passenger train probably heading for Ahmadabad.
YP2196 was 34 years old at the time of this photograph, being one of a batch of 50 constructed by German manufacturer Krauss Maffei in 1954.
(Believe it or not I have a picture of Umberleigh somewhere, but unfortunately not scanned.)

I think part of the problem is some people are trying too hard?
If you ain't got a pic that fits the bill or you think you contribution might only be 50/50, then let it go, otherwise confusion seems to reign. There will be plenty more opportunities.
It's not a competition, it's a bit of fun ( I too have to remind myself of that from time to time).
Doing the A to Z of stations sounds like fun?

R is for RTOV operated by colas (RTOV was a designation designed to replace DBSO which didn't last long)
I know it's a long shot but quite frankly I'm proper bored of the way this thread is going and want to get into something else quickly
R was done without controversy ages ago

I'm no expert (being only 2 years 8 months at the time of the dropping of the last British Rail fire), but the more common appellation seems to be the Master Neverers Association.
I have gone back and checked and I believe it was the Midland Neverers Association - source 'Steam The Glorious Years' - chapter on Paul Riley. I have updated my post accordingly.
-
I am surprised there has been no mention of the Midland Neverers Association and their legendary cleaning exploits on these and other locos in their final days.
Coincidentally John Whiteley has very recently posted several excellent images of these latter day Jubilee workings
This is the link to his Flickr photostream https://www.flickr.com/photos/126693116@N06/ there are several Jubilee pics near the top of the stream. (If you are reading this several months on you may have to do a bit of searching.)

Steamranger Heritage Railway's broad gauge (5'3") 4-6-0 Rx207 bowls along a few kilometres north of Goolwa, South Australia, with the afternoon return 'Southern Encounter' service from Victor Harbor to Mount Barker - 16 October 2016.
Rx207 was built by North British Locomotive Co of Glasgow and delivered to the South Australian Railways in December 1913 to an improved design based on the original R class delivered to the SAR by Dubs & Co in 1885.

I thought Bingley might have posted a QJ as in his profile picture. As an alternative here is DSB Q class no. 346 at Odense.
R for Mullard?
I often don't have RMWeb open - perhaps if I 'followed this topic' it might help

From the wayback in time machine. One of the better images obtained from my Canon Dial half frame camera.
I used to love seeing these things, they were just so unusual. One of ten motor parcels vans built by Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Co, in 1959-60 for the British Railways' Midland & Western regions.
Class 128 M55990 seen at Manchester Victoria on 8 September 1972 during a week long All Britain Rover holiday, paid for with six-weeks of school holiday office work in the City. Yes I was a couple of days late back to school!

Here's one I'd forgotten I had.........Built by English Electric from 1960 the 87 class were originally known as the 90 class when introduced and carried the classy East African Railway maroon livery.
