Trains & Cable Cars
There's a lovely place to watch the cable cars travel over Docklands Light Railway trains near the exit gates at the IFS Cloud Royal Docks Cable Car stop.
Nevada Northern Railway, Ely, Nevada (4/26/2025). These old engines were used to haul copper ore from the Ruth Mine on the west side of Ely to smelters in McGill, northeast of Ely. The trains, railway, & machine shop are fully operational & appear to the visitor as frozen in time from the early 20th century. I stop there every time I pass through town. Visitors can ride trains & be the engineer, but I prefer to roam around the yard & machine shop.
There seems to be an #interrail sale on at most of the usual sites.
And here's my regular reminder that if you are in the UK and have a Disabled Person's Railcard then you can get an equivalent Interrail pass for your companion for free from the official UK seller. myinterrail.co.uk
Buy your own pass, then contact them by email for instructions. They are very helpful.
A Slither Of Light - Bayswater
Photography of a departing train in the small open space between the dark tunnels at Bayswater tube station. It took a few attempts, but it looks fully illuminated when timed perfectly.
Note: Taken safely behind the yellow line with a zoom lens.
Taken this day, 2012, photographers on a platform, as the huge Britannia locomotive gets up steam https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamloo_gazette/6982812283/
When I was a kid, I had a Britannia in my model rail set - dad and I used to set it up and run it together, so it was even more special to see the real thing in action, with my dad that day.
FAVOURITE STATIONS: FARRINGDON
I met up with train enthusiasts Emmaunuel Charway, aka The Black Train Boy to talk about his favourite London Underground station... Farringdon. What is so special about Farringdon station?
Boats & Trains
This is the view looking at Royal Victoria Dock from the Greenwich Peninsula next to the IFS Cable Cars. It's lovely place to watch the Docklands Light Railway trains on their journeys.
Under The Archway
More symmetrical games, this time at Archway London Underground Station. I love the dramatic lighting here, so I waited patiently until I captured a train centrally aligned under the archway.
Coming & Going
I love the lines in this shot of trains arriving and departing Honor Oak Park London Overground Station

Red Reflections - Becontree
I could feel this puddle beckoning me at Becontree London Underground station. I can't resist a lovely reflection shot, and have become a master at ignoring my soggy trousers.
This is the second version of this shot!
Today's historic photo of the day: Taken by my grandfather, this photo sees a Rigibahn train on the Vitznau to Rigi standard gauge Riggenbach rack #railway at Vitznau, Switzerland in mid 1957.
Built in 1871, this standard gauge rack railway line claims to have been Europe's first mountain railway, and just its second rack railway. The line runs from a station adjacent to a wharf on Lake Lucerne at Vitznau, and climbs 1300m in the 7km run to Rigi.
@straphanger
The shape reminds me a bit of the Alan board of directors train for Dutch railways. One of my first refurbishment projects was its restoration.

Leaving Embankment
I love the red tones captured in this tunnel as the train departs Embankment London Underground station.
