I took this photo of Musgrave viaduct on the Eden Valley Railway in 1978 and only recently noticed the young lovers in the field

I have posted this one on the forum before, but I think it is worth repeating; no doubt the driver had a bit of explaining to do:

I've heard some strange stories about that. I've a feeling it might have been done on purpose as some sort of experiment?

Doesn't look like UK rail is there a matching set about 20 yards away from the other bogie?

However I have seen this done on brand new rail laid that day by a driver in a 37 near New Pudsey station who didn't know his wheels were slipping until I yelled at him. He went down about an inch into the head.
Fortunately we had some spare rail and managed to change it before possession was given up.

Ruddy hell!!. Wot made that and how did he make it??.

I know or 'rail burn' but thats taking the biscuit!!.

I don't really know much about it, but I think it was taken on Brazil's Estrado de Ferro Vitória a Minas railroad which is a metre gauge iron ore operation. The loco involved was a Krauss-Maffei unit mechanically similar to the WR Hymek's.

The steam loco at the top of the page, is it one of Stratfords Neilson derived shunters or a pure industrial?

I could not resist this one, it's a poor copy scan from today's I newspaper showing Bangladeshis travelling to a religeous festival this week. There is a train under there somewhere!

I checked, they were all on cheap day returns

Are you sure that wasn't National Flailing Day, as the last vacuum braked, steam heat fitted loco on the system was booked on its final passenger working?
