Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

My Dad and I did the trip back in 2005 (behind preserved class 37 diesels nicknamed "Growlers") The line runs through the most remote and spectacular scenery. I can highly recommend taking the trip!
