History:
Located somewhere in a large forest lays this big train yard, which is full of historic locomotives. The trains here date all the way back to the second world war, back then these locomotives were built to serve the heavy loads of the war. It wasn't always war material though, a small...
This is a small train demolition plant with a bunch of old wagons and locomotives, many of which were still almost intact. Some of them were very unusual like a couple of old "covered" car transporters.

My Visit -
This one was quite fun, although there is not many items left to see, its a great walk under Liverpool, with some nice stone and brickwork to see. We arrived quite early, and had absolutely no trouble finding and getting into the tunnel, the rest is best seen in pictures!
Dudley rail tunnel was opened in 1850 to allow the Oxford-Worcester-Wolverhampton Line between Stourbridge and Wolverhampton to pass for several hundred yards beneath Dudley. The tunnel was regularly used by passenger trains until 1964, when the town's station closed along with the remaining...

At last I get to go to visit a train graveyard! I went to Oakamoor for a look round but even the rails have been taken away from there and scrapped.
(non-HD people should press the back button and look at some drains :-P )
Anyway, just before it was dark I managed to get pictures from another...
It took me a while before I've finally had the time to visit this cool Train. When you step on board, it's like you're traveling back in time...
Have seen a lot of repo's from it, so it's hard to be creative. Hope you enjoy it. I gave it a little authentic look.

During a fantastic long weekend trip to Hungary with my close friend TBM, and after a long list of annoying failures (the secca in Budapest appears to be very good and in even the derpiest of derps, though usually fairly pleasant and accepting but insist they must let you go), we successfully...
Evening all,
Not a Belgium one but a local place to me. Not a lot of history apart from this is the place where the local railway museum dumped locomotives, etc for restoration or scrapping. Haven't been there in a few years but maybe go back and see how much has changed.

In January 1995 a small group of enthusiasts, brought together by their recognition of the rapidly approaching end of an era in travel around South London, formed a group to preserve examples of the EPB type trains. For nearly half a century these electric multiple units reliably carried...

Approaching from Shepherdswell, you find yourself...
