The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway's 'Green Goddess' approaching Dungeness Station in Kent on the south east coast of England. This locomotive is based on Sir Nigel Gresley's famous A1 class locomotives of the London & North Eastern Railway, of which the Flying Scotsman is a surviving example. Built in 1925 it cost £1250 to build. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is a 15" gauge railway that runs for 13.5 miles along the coast of Kent. First opened in 1927 it is one of the most popular attractions on the south coast of England.

This is one of the Green Goddess on it’s way back towards Romney with the Dungeness nuclear power station in the background! I have some others from yesterday and I’m back down there tomorrow so I will try and get some more!

I went back down to the beach at Dungeness today and I’m afraid the trains weren’t running! It seems to be a reduced service during these COVID 19 times! :-(:-(

Another shot from a taxi window in Cuba: evening at a level crossing. I assume that this little car is a commuter, as I see lots of adults in the end window and children reaching out from the side.

QUOTED IMAGE
IMAGE LINK: https://photos.smugmug​.com …/IMG_0586-X2.jpg&lb=1&s=A  (external link) on Smugmug

When I showed this picture to a Cuban friend, she told me that right after the revolution she lived in a town so small that it didn't even have a secondary school, and that she had to commute to a school in Mayarí in a rail car much like this. I took this photo near Mayarí in 2013, so it looks like fifty years and two generations later the same story is still going on. I'm beginning to think that every good photo contains a story, and that gives it its evocative feeling whether or not we know what the story is.


I don't know anything. But I know other things.

You are very fortunate to be able to photograph so many steam engines, or maybe the some the same but a few different steam engines from time to time.

You are very fortunate indeed!!

Great shot and composure. This would make a nice computer desktop.

A shot from 7+ years ago showing a Virgin Voyager northbound service diverted up the Settle to Carlisle line because of maintenance work on the main West Coast route.
