A million miles later…ashes to ashes….rust to rust
A shot of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, taken not far from Beck Hole.. it was pouring down that day and you don’t have to look too closely to see the rain. I used hdr to give an effect.. something I like to do with Steam Engine shots.. it seems to take the shot back to the steam era. Taken in the North York Moors National Park. MY STEAM AND RAIL SET
I find Knaresborough station unusual position wise, leaving the station in one direction the track goes straight into a tunnel/bridge. In the other direction it has to cross a large multi arched bridge crossing a gorge/valley. The station itself seems a bit timeless, it can’t have changed much for years. / HDR used for effect.

The joys of the ‘Great Little Trains of Wales’ to quote an old tourist slogan. This painting brings back happy memories of a day spent on the Tallylyn Railway, and captures one of their trains approaching Dolgoch Falls.
Another shot from the Steam Train Museum at Thirlmere in the Southern Highlands of NSW (Australia) ... I could not escape the ‘feel’ of the 1920’s, so I added an ethereal Flapper, some film grain, and effects to hopefully suggest a byegone era. Still feeling my way with these special effects so all constructive suggestions gratefully received!! Flapper Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM / / / / / /

Every Sunday a steam train makes it way down from Bristol to Kingswear filled with steam enthusiasts, mainly on the main Paddington to Penzance line. Quite exciting to see it pass Dawlish at about 40MPH with the whistle blowing and people cheering it on it’s way along the scenic coastal section of the trip.
The East Lancashire Railway is a heritage railway in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, England.The line opened in 1987 operating a service from Bury to Ramsbottom via Summerseat. In 1991 the service was extended via Irwell Vale to Rawtenstall, and in September 2003 an eastbound extension from Bury to Heywood was opened. To reach Heywood, the line climbs a gradient of 1 in 36, and falling at a gradient of 1 in 41, to cross over the Manchester Metrolink line into Bury. The heritage line is now just over 12 miles (19 km) long, and has a mainline connection with the national railway network at Castleton, beyond Heywood. There are plans to extend the running line further to Castleton in the future.

A station that time has mostly forgotten all about stands waiting for a time that may never come. These old buildings and rails remember an era where hundreds of happy faces passed through here on their way home or on their holidays: They dream of a time long since passed. The Summer sky presents its amber glow to the station and casts its pigment all over the scene, highlighting the old charm of the woodwork and enhancing the shaddows. There is a romantic stillness captured within this scene. It is easy for us to imagine a crowd of people gathered waiting on a station that looks imaculate and yet, we can also see that this truly is the End of the Line.

This is the Royal Scot steam train building up a head of steam before leaving the Bridgenorth station of the Seven Valley Railway. This is a great place for steam buffs and photographers looking for inspiration or a great pint at the pub here.

This rail ride takes you from Winnipeg to Grosse Isle, Manitoba for a 2 1/2 hour excursion. Steam Engine #3 is one of the oldest operating steam locomotives in North America. You can enjoy an unforgettable experience while your 1900-vintage passenger coach is pulled across the Prairie landscape and the locomotive whistles its way along the tracks! When my husband was still working for the Canadian National Railway, he worked on the overhaul of this old engine :-)) Matter of fact, he was offered a job with the Prairie Dog Central Railway yesterday as we watched the old steamer start up and return it’s journey to Winnipeg from Grosse Isle.

Featured in ImageWriting Group – May 16, 2009 / Featured in AMERICAS ~ Rural, Urban, Wild, Free – May 16, 2009 / Featured in DSLR Users Only – May 12, 2009 Deemed the oldest steam engine in North America, the old #3, originally built in Scotland in 1882, just returned to the rails on Sunday after a 7 year restoration project to bring it up to standards. I was lucky enough to be going through the small town of Grosse Isle, Manitoba on Sunday and stopped to get some shots. As I passed by the old steamer and it hissed at me, it was a sort of odd feeling to get out of the way. It was parked in this spot for awhile on the Prairie Dog Central Railway nostalgic train ride. I did wait till it took off back to Winnipeg and got the steam coming from it and the genuine coal smoke from its huge smoke stack. The bell on the top there is in ringing position as you can see, what a nice sound it was. / Dynamic Photo HDR; Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi; 17-85mm lens / /
