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

Re: Amusing railway phtographs
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:

Re: Amusing railway phtographs
I've heard some strange stories about that. I've a feeling it might have been done on purpose as some sort of experiment?60041 wrote: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:

Doesn't look like UK rail is there a matching set about 20 yards away from the other bogie?Coboman wrote:I've heard some strange stories about that.

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.

Re: Amusing railway phtographs
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.Micky wrote:Ruddy hell!!. Wot made that and how did he make it??.60041 wrote: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:

Re: Amusing railway phtographs
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!

Re: Amusing railway phtographs
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?
