Part 3 (August - December)

The reclusive 20214 is pictured in the shed at Haverthwaite on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway (01/08/2016)

'REPULSE' runs round its train at Lakeside after arriving with the 1405 from Haverthwaite. Lake Windermere is just visible in the background on the left of the picture, whilst the brickwork on the right is from the original terminus of the line (01/08/2016)

60100 passes through the cutting at Hunslet with the WO 6Dxx 1356 Neville Hill - Lindsey Oil Refinery empty fuel tanks (03/08/2016)

Had the sun appeared and 37419 been leading then this would have been the perfect location for a photograph of 2Z02 0928 York - York Inspection Saloon via Diggle, the Calder Valley and Bradford Interchange. Instead, here's 'Caroline' heading back towards York through the cutting at Hunslet (03/08/2016)

66754 'Northampton Saints' approaches Dockfield Junction with 6D72 1132 Hull Dairycoates - Rylstone Tilcon empties. There were some sunny patches about but I didn't manage to pick one, so that's twice I've now failed with this train. Third time lucky perhaps? (04/08/2016)

66738 'HUDDERSFIELD TOWN' passes Hirst Wood foot crossing with 6M34 1212 Arcow Quarry - Bredbury Tilcon. I've not used this location for some time, and unfortunately I didn't get to see what it looks like when illuminated by sunlight (04/08/2016)

A rear end view of 37516 approaching Saltaire on the 0Z47 1240 Carnforth Steamtown - Leeds Balm Road light loco move (04/08/2016)

60076 'Dunbar' passes through Horbury Cutting with 6M32 0855 Colas Ribble Rail - Lindsey Oil Refinery bitumen empties (05/08/2016)

My bonus shot was the 0Zxx 0930 Crewe Basford Hall - Leeds Balm Road light loco move consisting of 66622 + 66951 + 70004 + 66952. Today was the sunniest day of the week by far in these parts, but you wouldn't think it looking at these last two images (05/08/2016)

I'd camped out for a further hour and it was worth the wait to see Horbury Cutting in full summer sunshine as 66607 passes with 6Mxx 1313 Dewsbury Blue Circle - Earles Sidings empty cement tanks (05/08/2016)

I'd gone off the beaten track today, visiting locations I've never been to before, and ideally I needed a set of steps to see properly over the top of the bridge parapet for this one. 66060 approaches Dewsbury East Junction with 6Exx 1050 Knowsley Freight Terminal - Wilton EFW 'bin-liner' (05/08/2016)

61264 waits to depart from Grosmont with the North Yorkshire Moors Railway's 2P05 1130 to Pickering (06/08/2016)

25278 is pictured on arrival at Grosmont later that afternoon with 2G10 1400 ex-Pickering (06/08/2016)

An East Midlands Trains HST led by power car 43052 passes Killingbeck with 5C43 1008 Neville Hill - Sheffield. Engineering work at Holbeck Junction necessitated the diversion of this train via Hambleton and Doncaster (07/08/2016)

66162 passes Pepper Road, Hunslet, with 6Dxx 1641 Whitehall Junction - Doncaster Up Decoy engineering train from the weekend possession at Holbeck Junction (07/08/2016)

66730 approaches the flyover into Pride Park at Derby with 6M83 1051 Tinsley Yard - Bardon Hill empty stone train (08/08/2016)

66098 passes North Staffs Junction with 6Mxx 1243 Walsall Freight Terminal - Dowlow Briggs Sidings empty stone train (08/08/2016)

153379 waits to take the Uttoxeter line at North Staffs Junction as 66174 passes with 6Exx 1305 Wolverhampton Steel Terminal - Immingham Sorting Sidings (08/08/2016)

68001 'Evolution' accelerates away from Stenson Junction with 6Kxx 1342 Mountsorrel - Crewe Basford Hall loaded ballast train (08/08/2016)

56302 'PECO - The Railway Modeller' rounds the curve towards Castle Donnington at Stenson with 6E08 1450 Washwood Heath - Boston Docks steel empties (08/08/2016)

66018 passes North Staffs Junction with the loaded 6M00 1250 Humber Oil Refinery - Kingsbury Oil Sidings (08/08/2016)

66053 passes North Staffs Junction with 6Bxx 1653 Toton North Yard - Bescot Up Engineers Sidings (08/08/2016)

DCR's 56312 'Jeremiah Dixon' catches the evening sunlight at Derby (08/08/2016)
