Here's the train going past the street-view car.

ARRRGGHHH!!!!

Sorry, can't seem to manage to cut and paste a suitable link. Go to Google Maps, search Ashton Lane Partington, pan to the west a bit, zoom in, there's a tank wagon of some sort sitting on what is now a disconnected siding off the former CLC line from Skelton Junction.

Probably more fun following directions than just clicking a link?! Well, maybe....

Not quite a train!

You might have to zoom on in this one (it's not exactly a streetview but satellite) but here's Balfour Beatty's NTC Machine at work laying down Reading new Depot. Zoom out and you can see the old sidings - and the full length of the HBOC.

There's a DBS 66 on a container train as well.

Again - not actually a train, but a Blackpool Tram!

And not a train but may have caused some delays in the Seven Sisters area:

On a similar theme, what about trains on the BT Tower 360 Panorama at http://btlondon2012.co.uk/pano.html?

If you look ever so slightly West of North and zoom in on the red crane you'll see 350 234 heading in/out of Euston but can anybody find any others?

Thanks Ben, but no, not by miles. Your link went to North Manchester.

Near the Manchester Ship Canal, north of the disused (but apparently not irrevocably closed) line from Stockport to Cadishead via Skelton Jct. About 500m
to the east of the Ship Canal, there's a spur to some former sidings aligned south-north. Zoom in on the sattelite image, and there's track intact with some sort of tanker wagon on.

Class 09 at Trafford Park - http://goo.gl/maps/zmG5V

For anyone wondering how to post the links: get Google Street View showing the desired angle then click the "chain" button to the top left. Make sure "Short link" is ticked then copy and paste the goo.gl/____ link.

Oh yes, so there is. A bit of Googling reveals that it is actually an abandoned VDA van, rather than a tanker, that was previously used as a barrier or "reach" wagon with the Shell chemicals trains that ran to the Carrington compound, where it still remains, completely isolated from the network!

Highland Sleeper: http://goo.gl/maps/RhGNI

Anyone found the Lowland or Cornish sleeper? Or the Highland sleeper elsewhere?

Niiiiiiiice.

Work Traveller, the post immediately before your post as it featured the Cornish sleeper!

Here's a Pacer with either a Barry or Penarth service crossing the bridge into Grangetown station in Cardiff.

Thanks Sprinty!

Oh! Mr Porter, what shall I do,
I wanted to go to Birmingham, and they've taken my tracks away,
Take me back to Warrington, as quickly as you can
Oh! Mr Porter what a silly van I am!!
