RAIL PHOTOS 1984 - 1998

| Rhosneigr is a small coastal village on the isle of Anglesey, North Wales which I first visited in 1984 when we had a family camping holiday there. I was delighted to find the camp site overlooked the North Wales Coast mainline! | |
|
That first week I saw class 25s, 40s, 45s and 47s on freight & passenger trains but the only photo I took is 47537 heading an evening Euston to Holyhead train, 27 August 1984.
|
|
We returned in 1987, by then class 25s and 40s had gone and almost all remaining hauled passenger trains were class 47s. Here 47454 heads the 1656 (Sun) Holyhead - Euston, 24 May 1987. |
|
Besides passenger trains there were still several freight services. 47295 heads a westbound freighliner from the docks at Holyhead, 27 May 1987. |
|
By the 1990s I'd given up trains and going on family holidays! But I did return to Rhosneigr and the sight of class 37s tempted me to get my camera out. This is 37402 on a train from Holyhead, 8 July 1995. |
|
the following day 37405 heads the 1422 (Sun) Holyhead - Crewe train. |
|
Rhosneigr is also next to RAF Valley and in this lucky picture I caught 37417 passing an RAF Sea King helicopter on a training flight. |
|
Another view of 37417 on 1353 Holyhead - Crewe, 5 September 1996. |
|
a photo taken while sat outside the tent, 37408 works the 1518 Crewe - Holyhead, 5 Sept 1996. |

37422 on a Birmingham to Holyhead service, 29 August 1998. |
