I also wanted to bring some historical pictures from today, from Chorley, but despite my birthday today, everything went wrong (I wanted to take pictures of entering EMUs) - too long to explain, but here they are:
OMG! Why this train must look always like a Pokemon?!
Couldn't the bottom of the front be painted blue or dark grey?!
The ugliest thing on rails of our times! :(
Other parts (sides) of a new Northern livery look very good, so even bigger shame!
Does "couple" always mean two? Or rather in this case for certain?
I'm asking seriously, English isn't my mother's tongue.
Maybe it's just the difference between an optimist and a pessimist? ;)
I'm trying again to upload resized in Paint pics of electrification progress about river Chor aqueduct.
Uhhh! :)
The aqueduct seen from the East, so wires on its left are obviously on its South.
A look from farther South.
And more to the South.
I tried to send full version of these...
Some pictures from Chorley
Chorley arches area activity:
Unfortunately the opposite side of the tunnel is completely out of sight from above (the street) because of plants.
I also wanted to throw a bit of light on a progress about river Chor aqueduct.
I found it somehow with a help of Google...
Just a few pictures showing Chorley station almost fully wired:
Southern approach
A look towards the end of platform 2 (towards Bolton)
And in opposite way, from the very end
And other views still from platform 2:
At the end a view from the corner of Steeley Lane and Friday Street...
I hadn't taken them, because I didn't think about being here, although I read about progress every day.
Next time I do but my camera is not perfect, hopefully the pictures will be good enough.
Actually the wires I saw were not at the station itself but towards the north from it.
Good afternoon, I've just joined...
I had a pleasure to see some earth wires in Chorley station being instaled today.
It looks to me as if the metalwork at the station was finished but some distances seem to me to long (hard to judge, I'm just trying to compare one to another).
Are they short...
