We had permission to walk around and photograph Pere Marquette 1225 - it was a railfan excursion complete with photo run by 
The NS switcher was photographed from a public road just off Front Street in Toledo and we asked the crew if they would mind :wave:
No tresspassing required, Scott

Nice pics, Lance, that first one a Mikado or similar type? You really should come to Germany some time, there are some unbelievable railfanning opportunities here.

I'm fairly sure the PM 1225 is a 2-8-4 "Berkshire" locomotive.

Last for a while.....
This week has seen the last Scarborough Spa Expresses of the season. Unfortunately marred by a loco failure, this meant that the Leeds circuit part of the train had to be diesel hauled.
And as a tail ender is a shot of the back gardens with a railcar in the background.

Hi Mr Berry, nice photo at Shipley! Thanks for adding to this thread! The timings for this train were not for a freight loco, but we had a decent run! And got home on time.
Many people do not realise the hard work and days away from home that support crew members do in order to keep these trains running. We are all getting older and thinner on the ground. This particular train would not have had a steam loco without the magnificent effort of two people in particular so here is a mugshot of them!
And I was part of the back up along with A N Other!
More work!
At least this is easier than humping coal!
Craig (new rail photographer!) came along and took a couple of diesel photos for you
Two generations of freight locos
and a plastic leccy
John Craig and chums
Craig says that he took all the pictures! He reckons I was too busy yapping about the good old days!

Not sure if this is the right section to post, but I thought I should let users know that if you upload videos to YouTube, make sure you put some sort ofID on them, or similar marking, as I've been informed (& I have found after I searched for a train) that a Youtube as uploaded other peoples videos without permission.

8F
I would also add my thanks, from looking that is quite a crew for the trip.
It is often overlooked that these things take a huge effort.The 8F is I think a great loco for such trips even if not that fast, plenty of pulling on a very long train.Too long for Shipley, takes two goes to let people off.
I hope the trips keep on as the next generation are watching and I hope getting the bug..
those pics are really unique.
Thanks
Its out again here soon I see...

Yes the 8F is due through Shipley next Saturday! Meanwhile Mrs C and our Daughter wanted to go shopping today. They ended up in Doncaster (so I could take some GNER photos before the franchise ends). Craig and I saw plenty 66s bringing engineering trains back from the weekends works, but GNER were a bit short on the ground due to overhead wire problems in the South, and most that we saw were on platform 1 which is very had to photgraph!

Lol jivebunny, that looks a wonderful pad. Hope nobody builds anything in between you and the station. Upstairs would have a better vantage position if you can go any higher. Where about's is it please BTW.

Thanks. It's Chester General, the railway infrastructure in the foreground is still heavily used as a goods loop and as a stabling area, and between that and my living room there's an access road for the apartment block on the left so I don't think there's much chance of anything more being built in the near future. The apartment's on the top floor of the building so I couldn't go any higher, but the photo was taken from the far corner of the room so if you move closer to the window you can see most of the station and the approach lines, plenty to watch!I'll post a few more pics when I move in!

No fair, the tracks that would have gone through this town were removed over 50 years ago:'(, I'll just have to commandeer your flat if I need some good pics
