Trains on Google Street View

[Hyphen]

Was looking for Pont Briwet (Penrhyndeudraeth) and carried on going.

Part of the Strategic Steam Reserve for the Cambrian maybe? http://goo.gl/maps/Bje4B

EDIT: I'm an idiot, the Ffestiniog is narrow gauge...

Zooming right in, it actually looks like a 31.

A tip: If you go into street view, adjust the rotation and zoom (center the train to your browser's viewpoint in order to account for different screen resolutions) and then generate the share link, it will jump straight to what you see.

Posting just the map location means we have to hunt around for the specific road and streetview angle you viewed.

Post edited. Thanks for the advice. I'll edit my other post too.

Second picture is from 2012, so probably in GA livery?

On the Tay bridge if you go forward a bit look in the 1st carriage 7th window there's a man having a nap I believe.

Looks like 76084 may have an octagonal coupled wheel. Could be a bumpy ride.

It would appear that the spirits are among us, and I don't mean the Brandy in the dining car.

Maybe this page on the NNR Website which has just been put together will explain all for you? http://www.nnrailway.co.uk/page.php?pid=56 Enjoy!

There are videos on youtube of the exeter crossing. One showed that the attendants sometimes let people cross in between trains, so long as they're quick, don't stop etc.

I've had to report this to Google as it shouldn't be on street view!

Why shouldn't it?

As explained further up, the attendant lets pedestrians through when there's a big enough gap between trains. Zoom out and you'll see him in his orange hi-vis on the other side of the track.

As the majority of people using street view is kids, they might not understand why they let people cross when barriers are down. They learn lessons not to do it.
