]]> Tue Feb 17 2009 British Narrow Gauge http://andy-kirkham.fotopic.net/c1654855.html Although I enjoy visiting preserved railways, I don't usually photograph them, but for some reason I'm apt to make an exception for narrow gauge railways. I visited the Isle of Man a couple of times in the 1990's and at that time the Steam Railway afforded a unique experience in that it hardly felt like a preserved railway at all - it was more like a time machine. This was due in part to the picturesque decrepitude of the infrastucture.

Tanygrisiau station in 1972 on the occasion of a school geography field trip. The facade of the original station building was still standing. This remarkable stretch of tramwayconnected New Rhosydd Quarry to the head of the incline that descended to the valley bottom to meet the Croesor Tramway. This location can be reached by walking from Tanygrisiau, although it was not connected to the Festiniog.

Climbing out of Ilfracombe in 1970, the last year of the line's operation. The train had been running late commenced its return journey almost as soon as it arrived at the treminus, leaving me no time to examine Ilfracombe station. On the Ilfracombe line. The famous Taw bridge at Barnstaple. 1970 My parents at Watergate Halt on the Torrington-Meeth line. Barnstaple Junction with an original Southern Railway sign. Crossing a milk train at Crediton. 1970. The reason I don't have any pictures from these trips is that the slides were lost in the post either to or from the processing lab. I do remember being rather disappointed by the Okehampton line, having anticipated a ride across wild and romantic Dartmoor terrain, and found it to be just ordinary countryside.
