Shunting Signal Close Up

A different shot of a shunting signal. I’m going to feature more of these over the coming weeks as I think they are rather interesting. This is of a signal used for shunting movements. If they are at red, it means stop as shown. The red and white signal allows a train to move to the shunt limit.

A rather different shot today. This is of a closeup of a train track signal. This is based near the ground and is regularly used by trains despite the rough look of the track and surroundings.

First Great Western Trains Closeup

First Great Western Class 180 DMU 2 sets coupled together at London Paddington Station. All Class 180 DMU’s were pulled from service by the end of 2007 and returned to their leasing company with less than 6 years of operation due to reliability problems. They were replaced by refubished 30 year old HST train sets retired by other operators. I personally think this is a awesome shot, showing off the curved livery of the trains.

A very arty shot which I like, this is of the Black Prince steam train taken at the Cotswolds. A brilliant shot of the power involved.
