![]() Selby: Scene at Selby in August 1980 as Deltic 55017 The Durham Light Infantry prepares to depart with a northbound InterCity service and head for the swing bridge over the River Ouse.

![]() Ferryhill MPD: With the remains of the coaling bank on the left and Ferryhill^s main shed to the right, this view is along the refuelling road during the early summer of 1974. Looks like a full house with so many locomotives stabled in the shed yard. John McIntyre [//1974] |
![]() Achnashellach: 47826 brings up the rear of an SRPS railtour returning from Kyle of Lochalsh to Paisley Gilmour Street on 26 September 2009. The train is seen here passing through Achnasheen station with 47776 on the leading end. John Furnevel [//] |
![]() Princes Street: A neglected looking Coronation Pacific pulls into Edinburgh^s Princes Street station in the winter of 1963 at the head of a lengthy rugby special from Wales for the February 2nd international at Murrayfield stadium.

![]() Ferryhill MPD: 40135 awits its next duty on shed at Ferryhill in 1974. The loco is still in BR Green with lion and wheel crest although it has received a TOPS number. At the right hand end the original number has been painted out. John McIntyre [//1974] |
![]() Backworth Colliery: Shunting activity in the yard at Backworth Colliery is captured by enthusiasts. At this time it was rumoured that the steam locomotives would soon be gone from the Backworth and Weetslade system and, soon after this visit, some ex-BR D95xx shunters duly arrived including D9502 [See image 18903] and also the last locomotive built at Swindon Works - D9555. This picture, showing two Austerity 0-6-0ST locos working with steel and wooden bodied wagons, looks south towards the level crossing where the line continued beyond down to Percy Main.
