This page will from time to time feature photographs for which I have no information on the location. I'm hoping that someone may be able to shine some light on thse views and perhaps some information on the train itself.
Any information is appreciated, no matter how insignificant it might seem..........(the latest additions are towards the top of the views).

For the photographs below click on the small image to get a full size picture

A green 40136, the 2nd to last to remain in green, with a track train, but where? Somewhere in Yorkshire, maybe. Good luck.

This is another view that has been on the website for a long time, but I have no clue where it is, D5098 was allocated to 50A from March 1963 to June 1967 so its probably somewhere in the Leeds - York - Newcastle area. Good luck.

This view has been on the website for a long time, but I have no clue where it is, must be reasonably early days for D5016 as there is no yellow warning panel and the roof mounted water filler cover is still present. Any thoughts?? Other published photographs indicate this is Stafford prior to its rebuilding for the WCML electrification.

Not alot to go on here, D5003 with an engineering train. Possibly this is on the North London line between Acton & Cricklewood???

January 1979, 25266 recently ex-works from Glasgow, somewhere on the Scottish Region perhaps? Most likely the PW sidings at Greenhill Upper Junction.

Somewhere on the east coast of Scotland ?? Dated July 1977 Believed to be Maud Junction with the train headed for Fraserburgh.

This may be in the Vale of York, somewhere???

I think this is 25064 & this maybe somewhere on the Scottish Region??Two suggestions offer Stirling as the location.

Maybe the Midland Mainline somewhere??Identified as St Albans, with the train heading north. The signalbox barely visible behind the wagons still survives.

Any thoughts??I'm pretty much certain this is Speke Junction

Any offers on this one - presumably a Thornaby turn, somewhere - good luck!One suggestion is Hartlepool shed? Steam era views of Hartlepool shed pretty much match the wall, streetlamps and house profiles behind the locomotive and brake tender.

Well, after the last two mystery pictures were identified easily, how about this mystery view? View positively identified as Cefn-Y-Bedd and features a train of Presflos from Tunnel Cement (as it was then) at Penyffordd heading south towards Croes Newydd, Wrexham. The picture appears to have been taken from a DMU en route from Wrexham Central to Bidston.

Not a clue, but I'll kick myself when you tell me!! Reported by several readers to be Ashburys, Manchester with the Class 25 heading in the direction of Woodhead. Actually it is on the 'UP & DOWN THRO. SDG' which branches off the Ardwick branch - so the train may be coming from North Manchester. The two tracks to the left are the up and down goods.

D5038 on the 'Condor' working presumably on the WCML somewhere. Any thoughts? This is certainly Uddingston Junction situated between Glasgow & Motherwell, with the train heading southbound, therefore making this a summertime shot. Road construction has made this view difficult to replicate today, whilst a ladder junction replaces the type of junction seen in this view.

On the Up Fast Erewash Valley line south of Clay Cross - about a quarter of a mile south of the junction. The photo was almost certainly taken from the A6175 overbridge.

No details, but possibly southbound at Dingwall?? Suggestions received offer this up as Dingwall.

This post card bears no identification apart from a pencilled 'Ashbourne' on the back. I don't think its Ashbourne though, maybe Buxton??

I feel I should know this place but..........here 45112 & 37222 slowly turn white. Any ideas? Confirmed as the bay platforms at the west end of Gloucester station, the Class 45 is in bay platform 3, the 37222 is in the horsebox siding.

25108 and some tank wagons, but where are we? Prees, on the Shrewsbury - Whitchurch line appears to be the location.

A pair of 26's, somewhere? IN ANSWER - at Pitlochry with a southbound working.

Phil B - this one's for you - the shunter may be 3672 or 3872 perhaps. Good luck!! IN ANSWER - York on the now lifted Foss Island branch at the Layerthorpe bridge. The line off to the left at the end of the train is the connection to the Derwent Valley Light Rly.

25002 on a passenger train, but where?? - perhaps on the Scottish Region - the picture has no date. IN ANSWER - thanks to all who identified this as Mallaig, not a familiar location for a an Eastfield Class 25/0 on passenger duties. - THANKS!!

OK Gentlemen - can you crack this one?? 48000 apparently withdrawn, rods off and an empty tender, possibly a 16B shedplate - no date - good luck!

Great shot - but where is it? IN ANSWER - definately southbound at Sandy on the ECML

40931 with 17D shedplate - at Rowsley perhaps?? IN ANSWER perhaps- believed to be at Derby
