At the time there were only locos moving on the standard gauge, now and then foorplate rides were offered, at about walking pace so it felt OK. The narrow gauge was bumpy, but no worse than other small lines, nowhere near as smooth as the Ffestiniog or Talyllyn. I've no idea what it is like now, it's well over 35 years since I was last there David

Photos from Bressingham in 1972 and 1973 for the first batch today. I think all these were on Fuji slide film which does not keep well, the greens go very dark.

Sorry, but you only get about 5 photos a day, so you can only have a selection of the places beginning with C. (And I said all the locations begin with C, not photos of all the locations which begin with C). David

Time for another trip to Scotland for today's images. This time all the locations begin with "C".

I've had a look in my books on the Furka Oberalp (now part of the MGB). The line from Goschenen to Andermatt was originally opened on 12th July 1917 by the Schollenenbahn, which became part of the Furka Oberalp in (I think) the 1960s. It is of course a rack railway as it is on a very steep gradient. I can't find anything specific about the viaduct or any other engineering features on the line. It is situated just above the Teufelsbrucke (Devils Bridge) on the road from Goschenen up to Andermatt and the Gotthard Pass. Part of that bridge is visible at the bottom of the photo. Do remember that we are in Switzerland where tunnels and bridges (and whole railways) are routinely built in the most unlikely places in very difficult terrain. David

The aerial one was Dad's, taken flying back to Newcastle from (I think) Innsbruck. David

Mark, Thanks again. Those workings make sense, both from the light direction in the photos and also I remember that we usually went out to photograph trains on Saturday afternoons on the ECML. David

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks to everyone for their very kind comments about the photos, I hope the thread will continue for some time yet. Thanks too for the extra information which so many of you regularly add. Now for the first batch of photos for today.

It is indeed. Of course it is no longer a junction as the lines diverge at Colton junction. David
