Bangor railway Station, North Wales. Diesel Class 24 5039 on a west-bound sheeted freight waits on the signal while 5030 shunts a parcels train past the London & North Western Railway signal box at Whit 1973. The semaphore signals are still active but the platform-end water tank had just been felled. The remains can be seen to the left of the railwayman. Bangor station is located between two tunnels, the one seen here takes the line westwards towards Holyhead.

Manchester Victoria station Platform 17, Stanier LMS Black 5 45202 on a parcels train 4th May 1968. Today the overall roof has gone, this platform is underneath the Manchester Evening News arena and steam a memory! And what is that archaic wheeled contraption on the left? 45202 has a very clean smokebox door compared with the rest of the engine. Maybe some enthusiast got busy with an oily rag because by this late in the steam day cleaners were very thin on the ground. See where this picture was taken. [?]
