[Theme] Trains and boats (no planes)

[Seapy]

Thank you Anirban, I greatly enjoy my trips to Eskdale with the family and capturing the trains with my camera.

Robert is the River Esk from the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway?

No Mike, my understanding is it was built for and runs on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, often known as Ratty, however I am not an expert so to could have come from elsewhere?  The railway is now a tourist attraction but originally it served iron ore mines and a large granite quarry in the Eskdale valley.

It's a great favourite with the children, the round trip from Ravenglas up to Eskdale takes an afternoon and is very popular.

Every kid who rode the trains remembers it - with fondness - to this day, I dare say.
Ours was much smaller - but then again - it's hard to remember really as one's sense of size changes over time

This girl fits that description I think Elsa!



Another happy driver, with her dog!



We seem to be blessed with a wide variety of railways and boats hereabouts.

Fantastic name of the locomotive of the last picture, Robert

Seems to be an enjoyable location for anyone fond of trains of all sizes.

There are a number of different type of bridges over the Wilhelmina-canal in Tilburg.  One of them is a movable bridge, were the 'road' is lifted and turns slowly into the middle. It leaves then room for ships to pass on two sides.  This is however not an overview of that bridge, but a boat, to be in line with the topic
