While I'm doing old photos - here's an interesting one.

Mrs Mike's father in the driving cab of a London #Underground battery engine used for shunting and moving stock when the power to the rails is off.

I think this is #Cricklewood depot about 1977

A railroad fan photographed Putin’s armored train.
For Mikhail #Korotkov, a lifelong “#trainspotter,” one unusual train on Russia’s railways became an obsession — like stalking a rare, shy beast.
He spent years tracking and photographing President Vladimir #Putin’s special hush-hush, deluxe armored #train. He was the first enthusiast to post an image of the train online in 2018. “Mere mortals do not travel on such a train”.

Ich fühlte mich verpflichtet meinen Cache Diving #Trainspotter zu pausieren. Da stehen offenbar irgendwelche Leute in der Nähe der Geleise herum und das wird auf den #GeoCache geschoben 🤣.

FEBRUARY / TUNNELS, TRAINS, TWISTS & TURNS
Photography from my 2023 calendar

I’ve only recently stopped to appreciate how nicely framed and decorated some underground stations are. I love all the curves, patterns & textures on display at Hollway road London Undeground station.

Paddington At Paddington

A fun older photo of mine featuring my daughter's Paddington bear waiting for a train at Paddington. For this picture I used blu tack & a pen to keep the bear & oyster card upright. It did however fall over many times.

The resulting image turned out better than expected.
