Not street view but what ever happened to the historic satellite images they used to do on Google maps?

There was one from about 2005 with a pacer heading out towards Marple, with an older image from 2003 with a 101 in almost the exact same location.

Don't know if anybody's got this one, but this is one I found a long time ago; a Class 66 with an oil train at Snelland AHB (Lincoln-Grimsby line) in 2008 (I think).
The halogen lights and "Smiths" barriers have since been replaced by LEDs and SPX Rail Systems barriers (lights 2013-ish, barriers 2018). The freights between Kingsbury and Humber are now also run by DB Cargo UK.
(NOTE: you'll probably have to reverse a little on the map)

You must download Google Earth on the PC and it'll let you see old images.
