Steam Days: August 2013

http://steamdaysblog.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, 22 August 2013. Some Steam Action Would be Good. Only this week and next to go for this season’s Spa Express to Scarborough. The season has been very disappointing and the next couple of weeks are unlikely to change my opinion. On Tuesday the first round trip of the week saw 48151 been pushed around by a class 47 diesel. Most enthusiasts have now realised that steam action will be very limited with the “fire risk” diesel tucked in behind the steam locomotive. In the evening we headed to Woodles...

Steam Days: March 2014

http://steamdaysblog.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, 27 March 2014. Leeds to Whitby with K4 61994 The Great Marquess and B1 61264 on The Esk Valley. We’d booked ages ago to travel on The Railway Touring Companies “The Esk Valley” running from Carnforth to Whitby on Saturday 22 March 2014. The train was diesel hauled in both directions between York and Carnforth with steam in charge between York and Whitby in both directions. The train proved to be a popular tour and had been fully booked for a few weeks before departure. This had a knock on effec...

Steam Days: North Yorkshire Moors Railway - August 2014

http://steamdaysblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/north-yorkshire-moors-railway-august.html

Saturday, 9 August 2014. North Yorkshire Moors Railway - August 2014. On a lovely summers day we set out for the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Our intention was to walk the Rail Trail from Grosmont to Goathland which follows George Stephenson's original railway line of 1836. After walking to Goathland our plan was to take the train back to Grosmont. With a total steam ban in place on mainline charters throughout Yorkshire this would be an opportunity to photograph and video steam trains in action.

Exploring The Industrial North. My new blog – Planes and Boats and Trains. August 2, 2015. I’ve accumulated an awful lot of photographs now from the Library of Congress, and while I’ve posted quite a lot over the past 18 months or so on here, I felt it time to do something a little different. I will continue to post library of Congress images on here, accompanied by my own narrative but the individual images now have their own home here: http:/ planesboatstrains.wordpress.com.
