Lots of thirsty iron horses to have their tanks topped off at the Levi, Kentucky shops.

Tasmanian Government Railways narrow gauge (3ft 6in) Loco T223 takes water at the St Marys tank before starting the midday coal run from the Cornwall and Mt Nicholas mines to Launceston in 1955

 
One winter night, the temprature dropped so much that ice begins to form thru the leaks on the water tanks.

Terriers & Brighton Belle at Brighton Works

As normal passenger traffic continues on the busy London-Brighton line, (what just has to be) the largest ever collection of the diminutive, but highly successful LBSCR Terrier Tanks (tank locomotives) as well as Pullman Cars of the sumptuous Brighton Belle are on display outside Brighton Works, where they were built.

The Terriers, made for the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LBSCR), had a long life going off to work, after Grouping in 1923, at several locations on the Southern Railway of which the LBSCR became one constituent. Several Terriers are now preserved.

The Brighton Belle was built by Southern Railway after the third-rail electrification of the London-Brighton line in the 1930s. A new Brighton Belle is now being reformed from various preserved Pullman cars and is expected to run (fully updated to modern EMU standards) on the London-Brighton line shortly.

Enjoy!

Peter.

On it's way to Cheyenne, Union Pacific 'Big Boy' #4006 will be in need of a top-off on coal and water upon arrival, as the engine eagerly gulps down it's supply of 25,000 gallons of water.
