The Allg&auml;ubahn normally hosts a good number of locomotive hauled trains and the diversions added even more variety.

It was when I got serious about railway photography and started to take pictures that I'm happy with to this day. It was also a year of change for Britain's railways. Industrial steam was on its last legs in Scotland and I managed to get a few shots of NCB No.17 working at Bedlay Colliery before it closed at the end of the year. At the opposite end of the scale, the legendary Deltics were working out their last miles on the East Coast Main Line. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to photograph them earlier in the year, I found myself within striking distance of the ECML on several occasions in November then got posted to Selby for most of December. With few opportunities for daylight photography, most pictures were taken after dark with the aid of a tripod. Some of the original slides have unpleasant colour casts but the scanning software has done an excellent job of restoring the colours.<br /><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="81-UK-0554-w" src="http://www.railography.co.uk/news/files//page1_blog_entry82_1.jpg"width="300" height="200"/><br /><br /><a href="http://www.railography.co.uk/photos/uk/ecml_1981/index.htm" rel="self">East Coast Diesels</a><br /><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="81-UK-0173-w" src="http://www.railography.co.uk/news/files//page1_blog_entry82_2.jpg"width="300" height="224"/><br /><br /><a href="http://www.railography.co.uk/photos/uk/bedlay_col/index.htm" rel="self">Bedlay Colliery</a>    ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>China - Loco Lists Updated</title><dc:creator>Railography</dc:creator><category>China - Steam</category><dc:date>2008-07-14T11:48:52+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-81</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-81</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The Loco Lists have been updated to include sightings up to June 2008. The inclusion of historical data continues but progress is very slow. It can take hours to pin down a single sighting because many of the locations listed are very obscure. In contrast, entering 40 numbers from a web report of Sandaoling only takes a couple of minutes.<br /><br />Many thanks to everyone who submitted reports to Steam_In_China and SY Country or e-mailed me directly with information or links to items on the Chinese bulletin boards. It's thanks to you that the list now contains details for around 400 industrial and local railways and 6900 individual locomotives.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.railography.co.uk/info/cn_steam/lists/locos/class_index.htm" rel="self">Lists by Class</a><br /><a href="http://www.railography.co.uk/info/cn_steam/lists/bureaux/bureau_index.htm" rel="self">Lists by CNR Location</a><br /><a href="http://www.railography.co.uk/info/cn_steam/lists/locations/location_index.htm" rel="self">Lists by Other Location</a> (Industrial, Mining, Local Railways etc incl Museums) ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Spain - Ponferrada Villablino Pictures</title><dc:creator>Railography</dc:creator><category>Spain</category><dc:date>2008-07-08T13:18:44+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-80</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-80</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The Ponferrada - Villablino was one of those railways that stood out from the crowd. This 62km metre gauge coal carrier in north-west Spain remained 100% steam worked until 1980. It was blessed with superb scenery, plenty of impressive bridges and tunnels and a fleet of very distinctive locomotives. I made three visits between 1979 and 1981 and despite being a photographic novice who couldn't compose or expose a picture to save himself, came away with a few photos I'm happy to publish more than quarter of a century later.<br /><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="80-PV-0197-w" src="http://www.railography.co.uk/news/files//page1_blog_entry80_1.jpg"width="300" height="228"/><br /><br /><a href="http://www.railography.co.uk/photos/spain/ponferrada/index.htm" rel="self">go to the photos</a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>China - Fushun Pictures Added</title><dc:creator>Railography</dc:creator><category>China - Diesel / Electric</category><dc:date>2008-07-01T21:23:39+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-79</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-79</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Some vintage pictures from the Fushun Opencast Mining operation in 1984.

Virtually all the pictures that were in the Tractive Efforts Photo Galleries are now available in the Railography galleries and those that aren't need re-scanning anyway. Hopefully that won't take too long but as Tractive Efforts took about two years to disappear, don't hold your breath!    ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>China - Main Line Galleries</title><dc:creator>Railography</dc:creator><category>China - Steam</category><dc:date>2008-07-01T20:09:16+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-77</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-77</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The China Main Line Galleries have been reorganised on a CNR Bureau basis. Many of the pictures have been published before but there are quite a few brand new pics and others that have been re-scanned or otherwise improved. In particular, there are fresh scans of 35mm slides from 1984/5, using a proper film scanner this time, not a flatbed, and a new gallery of pictures from the spectacular Datong - Qinhuangdao coal line. In total, there are over 200 photos covering a wide variety of steam, diesel and electric classes in Harbin, Shenyang, Beijing and Lanzhou Bureaux. <br /><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="84-C-0154" src="http://www.railography.co.uk/news/files//page1_blog_entry77_1.jpg"width="300" height="218"/><br /><br /><a href="http://www.railography.co.uk/photos/china_m/index.htm" rel="self">go to the galleries</a><br /><br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>China - JiTong Pictures</title><dc:creator>Railography</dc:creator><category>China - Steam</category><dc:date>2008-06-22T16:11:40+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-76</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.railography.co.uk/news/index.htm#unique-entry-id-76</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[It's taken a long time but I've finally got round to organising all the JiTong railway pictures in the same place. There are almost 200 pictures in 14 galleries covering the line from near Fuxindi, east of Chabuga to near Majiazi, west of Jingpeng. In addition to the pictures in the old Tractive Efforts galleries and those already on Railography, there are many previously unpublished images. This is just the tip of the iceberg and covers the line from early 2003 onwards with a handful of scans from 2002 and 2003. This was the ultimate main-line steam spectacle in more ways than one.
