]]> Fri Jan 23 2009 THE QUIDHAMPTON FLOW http://bobfostersrailgallery.fotopic.net/c1631529.html Having learnt via the press that the Calcium Carbonate flow from the Quidhampton quarry,nr Salisbury is to finish in early 2009,i was reminded how much freight flow has been lost since i started "photting" in the early 80s.It seems i was always tracking down, about to be withdrawn locomotives or workings, especially with the demise of speedlink,having an effect on both.However the Quidhampton workings,to and from Willesden and Eastleigh, and the Enterprise taking the flow over the border, seems special in some respect,partially due to the fact that it passed my doorstep,but mainly due to the varied amount of loco class and liveries encountered.Once the class 66 took a stranglehold on the working i have not thought much about it,untill now.Bearing this in mind i have compiled this collection,depicting class 33,37,47,56,58,60,66 and 73 on such workings. I recall,back in the last economic downturn a considerable reduction in flow,however the quarry thankfully survived until now.Working in the constuction industry,i am sure other related flows will at best be reduced, having a knock on effect to loco requirements,but on the bright side i hope you enjoy a look back in the not to distant past.

]]> Wed Dec 31 2008 ZAKOPANE ,POLAND http://bobfostersrailgallery.fotopic.net/c1563178.html Situated in the polish side of the Tatra mountain area,zakopane is a popular destination for Polish holidaymakers with many arriving at the station terminus on day trips from Krakow.This would explain that even though it is a single line, there was plenty of activity when i spent a evening half/hour there whilst staying for a few days. It was a pleasure to wander around with no "jobs worths" etc and Health and safety did not seem to exist with people crossing lines where they felt like it.I had asked a driver for info..but he shrugged his shoulders and walked off,only to return with another English speaking driver who could talk railways for ever and a day,no matter that his unit was soon due to leave.
