Keppel Pier: Keppel viewed from the 'Keppel'. A 1968 shot of TS 'Queen Mary II' running into a bit of difficulty attempting her call at the pier. A cautious approach was undoubtedly warranted in the brisk and rather untypical north-easterly breeze, but it looked to have been somewhat overdone.

Paddington: On the stops at Paddington in November 1974 are 1065 'Western Consort', with 1V38 from Birmingham, and 1005 'Western Venturer' with 1A05 1155 Paignton - Paddington arrival. Then an everyday sight. The buffer stops were much nearer the underground entrance in those days. The concourse is now much larger but the 2024 motive power in my eyes is of no interest at all.

Valparaiso Puerto: The blue hotel on the left sits above the Port terminus of the Valparaiso Metro system, which runs for 45km from here along the coast and then inland to Lamancha. Unfortunately, freight traffic on Chilean Railways has been run down in recent years and the rails into this busy container port were disused while long queues of road trucks waited to take containers out one at a time.

Carlisle Upperby Shed: Coronation Pacific 46225 'Duchess of Gloucester' at Carlisle Upperby in June 1963. It runs in my mind that she was on quasi-Thunderbird standby duty.
