Suprised there are no posts about this yet! Mass disruption between Beaulieu Road and Brockenhurst this morning due to a displaced conductor rail (reported as leaning over across four insulators). Job was stopped for a considerable period on both Up and Down lines, Down line being the one...

With the ECML blocked between Doncaster and York for the next three weekends in order to facilitate the renewal of a number of point ends at Shaftholme Jn, a limited service is running via West Yorkshire. The majority of VTEC services are being operated by HSTs, with a limited number booked...

I've just been trawling through TRUST looking for a couple of schedules and noticed some moves to/from Doncaster Roberts Road (GBRf) and Northallerton Wensleydale (Redmire Branch). The paths are in for GBRf. Monday 23 February 5Z46 AINDERBY 10:40 ROBERTSRD 12:57...

Incidents at Neville Hill and Chapeltown yesterday. Thoughts to those involved as they both sounded rather unpleasant.

Evening all, I had a bit of a scary moment typing '2015' for the first time at work today! Another year on the lineside is nearly over, and with a crazy few weeks ahead at work I reckon my camera will be staying in the bag until the New Year. I've not got out as much as I'd like this year, but...

All, After a lot of toying with the thought of purchasing a pole to open up some new locations and add a new challenge to my railway photography I have finally bitten a bullet. The pole has arrived...

Having checked my emails on the way home from work it seemed only right to grab ladders and camera having got in the house and head out for two shots at Brompton making the most of the long evenings and crystal clear light! First up was 60007 heading 6V02 Tees Yard to Margam...

It's been a while since I have shared anything, so here are a few shots to be going on with! A bit of a taster, 5X57 at East Goscote A GC HST passing Brompton in evening sun with 1A69 for Kings Cross https://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/13877161114/ Stunning early morning...

With the autumn sunlight holding out I couldn't resist heading back out this afternoon, first stop was Frisby on the Wreake for 7X09 S-Stock move with 20311 and 20314 with some nice coloured leaves in the backgrounds: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/10673918356/ Then over to the...

With Weebly not playing ball I've ended up back on Flickr for the time being, having made it out after almost a month of inactivity: 37601 with 3Z10 to Old Dalby http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/10667883685/

66747 with 6Z58 loaded limestone passing Stonebridge in the sun this afternoon http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9675065412/ No sun for the 'grids', but this just about made up for it! :)

Not exactly what I'd hoped to end up with as my final shot for August, a moderately-sunny effort for 1Q14 Heaton - Heaton in the hands of 37608 and 37612. The sun had dipped behind the only fleck of cloud in the sky, re-appearing to half light the shot then vanished for good...

It would have been rude not to pop out for a shot of imported 66748 working 6H37 loaded biomass at Brompton in the sun this evening, that's all for a sunny bank holiday afternoon! http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9602181020/in/photostream/

Hazy, but probably the best light of the day, 37425 working 1K05 on behalf of EMT with 405 hanging on the rear. It was worth the trip south after the cloud broke up backside-clenchingly close to booked time! http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9591058033/in/photostream/

DCR 56312 with 6Z16 Butterwell to York Holgate at Relly Mill, unfortunately a repeated shot, I was happy just to sit and wait with almost no hope of sun, until the last minute! http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9472266013/ Comments welcome :)

After a week away with work today was somewhat frustrating, patch cloud in the York area causing some issues! 86259 was recorded heading south with 1Z86 Edinbugh - Kings Cross http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9432327132/in/photostream/ In the middle of the afternoon I popped...

An evening shot, 60062 working 6V02 Tees to Margam loaded limestone boxes, seen passing Brompton. Not perfect light but I won't moan after I nearly missed the shot :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9346010100/

56301 looking spot on with loaded coal from Butterwell to Kellingley, seen passing a very sunny Relly Mill! Another tick in the book for a sunny shot having hunted this loco far and wide on the mainline :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9309808790/ Also, an everyday scene that...

60163 'Tornado' heading away from York with 1Z26 at Brumber Bridge, it was a bit of a last-minute decision to go for the shot, but I shan't complain, it was worth the effort when the sun lasted long enough :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/clagmonsterrail/9233399138/in/photostream/

A long day, with shots fitted round work, worth it though with the sun shining for 90% of the day and temperatures climbing into the 30s :) I would have like to get the Colas logs on the WCML but staying east paid off...6J37 will have to wait! 56312 was the start of the show dragging EMT...
