My son and I continued our tour of the steam railways of Britain this weekend with a visit to "Buzzrail" a preserved narrow gauge railway originally used for hauling sand from the quarries to the mainline. Apparently Leighton Buzzard sand is so good they even sell it to Saudi Arabia. The railway runs about three miles to the Stonehenge works. These visits are always a great opportunity to add to my collection of candid portraits, full of characters who are willing to chat about their hobby whilst I indulge mine. LBLR-2

First post :-) Katterat Railway Station. The Ofot line railway in northern Norway is quite spectacular. From Narvik harbour in the Ofot Fjord it climbs up the mountain, providing a transport ore for the vast iron mines of Kiruna, Sweden. 35 Summarit on NEX-5 The world's largest freight trains pull the iron load down the mountain providing surplus electricity as the engines brake on their way down to Narvik. The surplus electricity is sufficient energy for the return trip up the mountain side. Mountain and sea - The fjord down below makes a great view from the train.
