Trains on Google Street View

[Clip]

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

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

I think you found it in your own post there

 

[61653 HTAFC]

The Streetview car must've gone round the 'Besançon Loop' in Huddersfield on a Sunday (or very early on a summer weekday morning) based on the large number of units in the sidings:

395 south of Crewe, looks like a good vantage point.

390. I was thinking the Streetview car must've caught a very rare working!

Now for a bit of preserved miscellany: at Dunster

Apologies if someone already beat me to this, but I found a train on the Heysham branch, which has one train a day!

Now if you want a competition for barely visible trains in Scotland, then I admit to feeling rather pleased when I found this one a few years ago:-

Digswell Viaduct, just south of Welwyn North.

It doesn't really need a train on it.

Rather poor quality due to full zoom but still, http://goo.gl/maps/JFMsP facing towards Paignton station.

FGW rocking horse on the left and I think it's an 08 on the right, which I believe is privately owned by the Dartmouth Steam Railway


http://goo.gl/maps/snyKX - London Midland 323 at Barnt Green
http://goo.gl/maps/ZH7VX - Southbound XC Voyager near Barnt Green
http://goo.gl/maps/fDm3t - Tyseley storage yard. Couldn't find a better picture. LM 170s and 172s go there when not working. If you spin the picture 180 degrees you can see a train wash.
http://goo.gl/maps/26AN2 - Bescot. I assume this is the EWS yard. Dunno if those 08s are in use. Sadly I couldn't find any better views of Bescot yard.

That link takes me to Westham (Near Eastbourne) and a Southern service.

OK, that really was a bit depressing. When I close my eyes and think of that scene, there are a whole load of "Peaks", 47s and IIRC an 08 pilot tootling up and down? Snow also features, with steam leaking from train heating pipes......

Nice shot of an ATW 153 at Llanwrtyd Wells on the HOWL viewed from outside on the station approach.

East Tilbury station

Have noticed that there's quite often an arrow on Streetview that points along the tracks and takes you to the next level crossing.

Was looking for other things on Street View this evening (no, honestly!) and came across this beauty - a double 156 headed towards Fort William & Mallaig on the WHL in Crianlarich.

http://goo.gl/maps/UsXDg

(move the Street View image backwards, away from the bridge, to see the other 156)
